Be the Snowball

This week we have a guest -- and a guest co-host. Kate DeBartolo and Justin Magnuson help with the very large conversation around how to talk about our plans and wishes for ourselves in the event of chronic illness. Go gently into this conversation and emerge with a deeper connection to your full humanity.
