Quote of the Week Behind every great relationship are difficult and uncomfortable conversations we rarely get to see. Great relationships don't fall into our laps. They require people to move through their fears and insecurities and do the hard work to move wounds into healing. -Vienna Pharaon https://instagram.com/p/Bikjzm0luBY/ ------ Thank you for tuning in!
