How NOT to be a Miserable Cow Alison Capra A gypsy's guide to life, love and the pursuit of happiness for a clever girl with a big heart, passion for life, and strong convictions. Too often we release "bad behavior" to personality types or even our upbringing. On my quest for personal growth, I have identified what's making us ugly people, and if we refuse to to identify them within ourselves we will become a Miserable Cows. www.alisoncapra.com Explicit Outliers: The Story of Success Free Education In this stunning book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful.

Through it all, they talk about what it takes to break free from a cult and what gets left behind. Explicit Short Skirts and A Long Scripture Hana and Cas The podcast for discussing and healing from religious trauma.The name "Short Skirts and A Long Scripture," came about because we wanted to express an element of the toxic double standard from our upbringing, (good girls should cover their bodies so that boys are not tempted to sin) and respectfully acknowledge the religious aspect of our youth.
