"I" Statements

Apologies for the lack of episodes in November and December - we had some technical issues that delayed recording and, when we finally did get the episode recorded the sound quality was not great. We'll re-record our most recent, not-yet-released episode and share it with you in late spring/early summer. That's right, "I" Statements is taking a little hiatus - we're excited to bring you new episodes later in 2022 and wish you a safe, happy, and healthy transition to the new year! 

In this episode, Carley, Jeannie, and Rachel talk about what they try to control, how that makes them feel, and the potential impact that one individual can have in the world.
