What do you do when you are feeling outraged? Do you tantrum, hide out, or do you counter the anger with something affirming?
Today, Traci sits down with Karen Brailsford to talk about spiritual sustenance. If you have wondered how spirituality can help you cope with these intense times without floating away on a cloud of "avoiding the hard things", this episode is for you. Karen has a lot of information that you can borrow and apply in your day to day life.
Karen is a spiritual advisor. She’s affiliated with the Agape Center, but she’s also a long-time writer. She’s written for Newsweek, People, In Tough, and Entertainment. Her daughter is an actress; you may have seen her in The Hate You Give, Or Hunger Games, Amandla Stenberg.
Many of us think Hollywood is a corrupt place, and nothing good comes from there, but Karen has a different opinion. During her time as a journalist, she had a chance to interview all types of people you might outwardly judge and make assumptions about.
Are you ready to hear Karen ooze her heart-wise tools? Listen in...
