8. Radical Honesty, Radical Impact: The Value of Sharing Our Trauma - with Geri Hirsch #FabulousFriends

Geri Hirsch and I were both invited to speak at an event at LOOM — an awesome place where both of us took some classes to help prepare us for motherhood — and Geri shared a powerful story about her marriage that really made me stop and think.
