KEW Episode 135: Winning at Life by Walking the Talk
July 27, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.3 MBThere was a time when my relationship with my father was pretty good. But during my teenage years I pretty much avoided him. During that period he gave me a lot of advice I didn’t want nor listen to. One of the things he told me was that I needed to ‘Walk the Talk’. The essence of this advice is that we need to live a life of integrity. After living half my life on this planet I see the wisdom in his words. Humans truly need to align their values with their actions. This alignment, or integ...
KEW Episode 134: Growing Smaller Part 2
July 20, 2023 09:00 - 23 minutes - 16.1 MBHere is Part 1 of this two-part series. In it, I focus mostly on the Growth part of the equation In Part 2, I want to focus on the Smaller portion. As I said, I used to be an entrepreneur. In my small town, I struggled to generate enough traffic to amount to any significant income. Believing I couldn’t manipulate revenue, I instead focused very carefully on the expense side of the balance sheet. Later I would see the Netflix shows by the ‘Minimalists’ who described using things and lovin...
KEW Episode 133: What Freedom Means to Me
July 13, 2023 09:00 - 24 minutes - 16.7 MBThe fourth of July makes me ashamed. I’m ashamed of myself because I can’t seem to match the patriotism that surrounds me. In the USA, people get almost spiritual about their fireworks, hot dogs, and freedom worship. Behind all of this, for me, is a whole lot of weirdness. The whole Independence thing is fine. We fled a plutocratic government to have the ‘freedom’ to worship any god we wanted only to find ourselves in a similarly autocratic system with exceptionally narrow-minded tolerance...
KEW Episode 132: Growing Smaller
July 06, 2023 09:00 - 25 minutes - 17.5 MBI used to own a brewery. In our rural location and with our small customer pool, we struggled to be profitable. My partners and I disagreed about how to best approach profitability. One had an MBA and swore by the neo-capitalist, Econ 101 approach to maximizing revenues. Following this popular approach, we were unable to generate returns on the money we threw at advertising, marketing, and solicitation. Though I was the introverted partner, I eventually mustered the courage to try my own ...
KEW Episode 131: The Downfall of Modern Life
June 29, 2023 09:00 - 26 minutes - 17.9 MBThis episode is inspired by the idea that the USA has the world's most expensive yet least h care. At least this has been the type of conclusion drawn from many analyses that compare things like GDP, cost of health care, and individual health. The idea is that we have come a long way, but we don’t necessarily have a lot to show for it. Or, maybe it’s about making all of this so-called ‘progress’, yet having a lot of co-occurring problems. Yes, we have lower infant mortality. We were living...
KEW Episode 130: Feelings, Communication, and Human Interaction
June 22, 2023 11:00 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MBIf I’ve said it once by now, I’ve said it a thousand times: It blows my mind that any two people can have a conversation and walk away feeling understood AND having understood the other person with any degree of accuracy. In other words, our communication sucks. We often hear something other than the other person’s intent. And how often have you had a conversation and then have to have the same one AGAIN because the person thought you meant something else? And, if you think about it, g...
KEW Episode 130: Nonviolent Communication
June 22, 2023 11:00 - 26 minutes - 18.5 MBIf I’ve said it once by now, I’ve said it a thousand times: It blows my mind that any two people can have a conversation and walk away feeling understood AND having understood the other person with any degree of accuracy. In other words, our communication sucks. We often hear something other than the other person’s intent. And how often have you had a conversation and then have to have the same one AGAIN because the person thought you meant something else? And, if you think about it, g...
KEW Episode 129: Radical Acceptance
June 15, 2023 08:00 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MBKnowing yourself is an important part of being a complete human. Maybe this is just my opinion based on my own values, but it seems to be a theme. Throughout history there have been thinkers proclaiming the importance of knowing oneself. To justify this conclusion we can look at the opposite side of the coin. What is NOT knowing yourself like? To me, not knowing yourself leads to lots of misbehaviors. Breaking societal norms (which arguable can be a good thing), committing crimes and no...
KEW Episode 128: Less is More, and all Jobs Suck
June 08, 2023 08:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MBIf you listened to (or watched) KEW Episode 15 about the Rat Race, you’ll know my feelings on jobs. And consumerism. And keeping up with the Joneses. I think most human problems stem from our relationship with money. And possessions. And ownership. Many smart people will say that this mess all started when the first (fat, white, male) humans decided they could own land. Prior to that, it never occurred to indigenous peoples that a human could claim ownership over anything except themselve...
KEW Episode 127: Bravery and the Meaning of Life
June 01, 2023 08:00 - 27 minutes - 19.2 MBI spent most of my pre-teen and teenage years terrified of people. I was very shy. I stayed at home on Friday and Saturday nights while I was in high school. And don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed my time. I played a lot of video games on my Commodore 64 computer. I learned to play guitar. I read cool books like the Carlos Castaneda series. I enjoyed my life. But I didn’t interact with people a lot because it made me uncomfortable. This is where I learned about the ‘comfort zone’. Later in lif...
KEW Episode 126: Degrowth vs Growth
May 25, 2023 08:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MBWhile I don’t want to perpetuate the ‘capitalism sucks’ argument, I want to spend some time on degrowth. Pretty funny that the spell checkers keep correcting ‘degrowth’ to ‘regrowth’. See? This idea is manifested in everything. Because of capitalism, humans have become obsessed with growth. Mostly in the financial sense. The way our global economy is set up, growth is an essential requirement. Maybe THE MOST essential requirement. When we create money we create debt. The debt is the grow...
KEW Episode 125: Codependency as an Addiction
May 18, 2023 08:00 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MBDivorce taught me that I had been very codependent in my first marriage. Many would argue that my ex-wife was narcissistic. As KEW readers and listeners know, I don't like either of those words but I think they describe some very human attributes. Some people are very confident and others are not so much. The extreme ends of this continuum result in things like narcissism and codependency. I have a whole episode about this dynamic: https://chrisburcher.com/2021/01/01/kew-episode-36-narci...
KEW Episode 124: Are all Leaders Narcissists?
May 11, 2023 08:00 - 25 minutes - 17.6 MBThe words 'leader' and 'narcissist' bug me. I think these two words are overused. I also don't think we really know what they mean anymore. Maybe we never did. Maybe the words have been usurped by the very people defined by them. Let's start with leadership. What is this, exactly? If you look on LinkedIn (which I did, then I quit) you will see 'leadership' as being a top-tier achievement. The word is thrown around to mean everything that's great about the world. Everything that's great a...
KEW Episode 123: Nature Knows Best
May 04, 2023 08:00 - 26 minutes - 18.4 MBFor the past twenty-some Episodes, I have been trying to figure out how to formulate my current question of interest. Generally, I am trying to make the case that Nature provides a wealth of information. Further, I am pleading with humankind to CONSULT nature when making decisions. Especially decisions that affect our species' or planets' health. I have used evolution and natural selection (with DNA being the mechanism) as filters, of sorts, that approve or disprove of various biological e...
KEW Episode 122: Systems Thinking
April 27, 2023 08:00 - 21 minutes - 15.1 MBWhile this is not a definitive treatise on Systems Thinking, I wanted to talk a bit about this topic as it is relevant to many of my posts. People tell me that out-of-the-box thinking is atypical. Most people seem to think of the world in simplified, or at least minimized relationships. For example, you might think your job sucks. When thinking about how to change that or do something about it, you might think about why your job sucks. Many will simply decide that they are unlucky, or a vic...
KEW Episode 121. Awareness. Cultivation and Growth.
April 20, 2023 08:00 - 24 minutes - 16.8 MBI'm revisiting some of my favorite concepts in this episode. Awareness. Intent. Attention. Consciousness. Will. And how these things work together and facilitate growth. Being human. Underneath all of this, I believe that growing to be a 'better' human is a critical requirement of being alive. Or, if it is not a requirement, it is a meaningful element whose absence is a shame if not a failure. We are all humans, subject to the distractions of life. We can become addicted. Be assholes. Ma...
KEW Episode 120: I Don't Know
April 13, 2023 08:00 - 25 minutes - 17.6 MBI say it all the time. The three most powerful words in the English language are, "I Don't Know'. When I worked at a pet store, the boss publicly humiliated me for not being able to say, "I Don't Know'. I learned quickly that it is not only ok, it is not only a good idea, it is not only TRUE, but it is very freeing to say, "I Don't Know". If you're close to my age you might remember the television show called "You Can't Do That on Television". It was awesome and here's a link to an episod...
KEW Episode 119: Sexual Selection and Love
April 06, 2023 08:00 - 22 minutes - 15.8 MBThis is really the third in a series about the evolutionary significance of sex. I recorded this Episode first, then forgot about it and recorded the previous two episodes (117 and 118). Funny that this was all on my mind to the point where I forgot talking about it. But that's how important this is. I can't stress it enough and so give it three Episodes. The evolution of sexual selection as the way to perpetuate biology near infinitely toward immortality is pretty cool. The big downside...
KEW Episode 118: Let's Talk About Sex Part 2
March 30, 2023 08:00 - 23 minutes - 16.5 MBIn part 1 of this series, I introduced the difference between asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is basically mitosis or simple cell division. This leaves little room for variation. Evolution and change are slow, and your kids are basically clones of you. With the onset and ultimate domination of sexual reproduction, much more change becomes possible. New concepts like gender and parenting evolve. Evolution, itself becomes THE way organisms can adjust to ch...
KEW Episode 117: Let's Talk About Sex Part 1
March 23, 2023 08:00 - 21 minutes - 14.9 MBSex. We're obsessed with it. And for good reason. Sexual reproduction is the mechanism that perpetuates life. We can't live forever, but we can become essentially immortal by passing on our genes to the next generation. Humans, and other life forms, don't live forever. But one can argue that our DNA does. And it's not all sex, but it's more fun to talk about sex. We used to get along great without sex. All organisms reproduced asexually at first. No boys. No girls. No gender at all. Just...
KEW Episode 116: How to Fix What is Broken
March 16, 2023 08:00 - 24 minutes - 16.5 MBWhat's the point? Of any of it? For me, it is the unrest that comes from acknowledging what is wrong in the world. Poverty. War. Violent crime. Social justice issues. Inequality. Racism. Choose your weapon. It isn't hard to see problems in the world. My point is not to point them out, but to try and posit solutions. Or pathways to solutions. Because I'm sick and tired of armchair, short-term, quick-fix 'solutions' sold by various snake-oil salesmen dressed as therapists, coaches, doctor...
KEW 115: Love is All You Need
March 09, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.3 MBMy most pedantic episode ever. While I am a pretty touchy-feely hippie kind of guy, I shy away from the overly emotional and more 'woo-woo' concepts. I don't believe in the 'secret' (though I do think a positive attitude attracts positive things) and I don't like gratuitous cheesiness. But I have had multiple experiences that lead me toward Love. I have had somatic experiences I can't explain other than to say I felt an internal Love permeating toward all things external. I used to think l...
KEW Episode 115: Love is All You Need
March 09, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.3 MBMy most pedantic episode ever. While I am a pretty touchy-feely hippie kind of guy, I shy away from the overly emotional and more 'woo-woo' concepts. I don't believe in the 'secret' (though I do think a positive attitude attracts positive things) and I don't like gratuitous cheesiness. But I have had multiple experiences that lead me toward Love.

KEW Episode 114: Pro-socialism, Community, and Love
March 02, 2023 09:00 - 20 minutes - 14.3 MBI continue to be inspired by the interviews on The Great Simplification Podcast, by the host Nate Havens, and by his guests. It is rewarding to find support for ideas I thought were my own. So many thoughts have been swirling around in my head, and this podcast/blog/video channel is my attempt to integrate them. It is happening. Slowly, but surely. And the process has been expedited lately. The Acid Test idea; that nature and her patterns can inform the big questions about humans and our pu...
KEW Episode 113: Suffering and Technology
February 23, 2023 09:00 - 23 minutes - 16.3 MBAre you a technologist? Do you think tech is going to solve all of our human problems? Do you see science, health advances, nuclear tech or some other human invention as being our salvation? Maybe you don't even see problems around us. I find it hard to believe that everyone, in some way, doesn't wonder where we are headed. As any follower on KEW will know by now, I think we need to take a few steps backward toward our 'older' and more indigenous nature. I like science and technology, but...
KEW Episode 112: The Shoulders of Giants
February 16, 2023 09:00 - 31 minutes - 22 MBI recently came upon a podcast by a fella named Nate Hagens. The podcast, and Nate's piece de resistance is called The Great Simplification and his ideas center around the future of humans on Earth. The idea behind The Great Simplification is that humans will soon run out of energy to power or current levels of consumption and have to drastically simplify our lives to compensate for that loss. Nate also talks about the concept of Energy Blindness, which is the idea that most humans don't ac...
KEW Episode 111: Vulnerability is Your Superpower
February 09, 2023 09:00 - 20 minutes - 14 MBI have been thinking a lot about the popular images of aggressive male competitors. Silverback gorillas. Wrestlemania or UFC fighters. These popular ideas feature 'Alpha males' bullying and pushing around 'weaker' males in order to get mates, habitat, or food. These toxic stereotypes probably spill over into popular culture and contribute to the issues we have among genders today. My question is, how common are these 'alpha males'? How 'fit' were these gender differences across all the sexu...
KEW Episode 110: The Acid Test. The Nature of Enough
February 02, 2023 09:00 - 26 minutes - 18.3 MBLike Competition, the concept of Enough is something I think about a lot. How much is enough? I think about it often in the context of an annual income. How much money does it take to be happy? Or satisfied. Or not upset. Or make ends meet plus a have a little fun. How much money do we really need? And then I think about how some people, maybe not many, but some, make WAY more than enough. And, of course, how many people make far less. But the concept of enough has Natural implications...
KEW Episode 109: Nature Cooperates to Reduce Competition. The DNA Acid Test
January 26, 2023 09:00 - 26 minutes - 18.3 MBI really dislike Competition. And it is a touchy subject. In an article I published on Medium, I received several hateful comments defending the importance of competition in business and sports. In KEW Episode 95 I discuss Rugged Individualism vs. Unified Connection to make the point that competition focuses on isolation rather than community. I talk about this topic a lot. And it is important for me to revisit this in the spirit of the Acid Tests, because Competition is a Natural process. ...
KEW Episode 108: The Acid Test. Why Ask These Questions?
January 19, 2023 09:00 - 24 minutes - 17.1 MBIt's a good question. Why? Maybe we should always be asking why. When we don't know why we're doing something, what's the point? Whether it's for money. Or for power. Or to get something. Or maybe it's a more altruistic reason. The 'why' we do things is critical and isn't it crazy to think we might not know it? It seems to me the tools we have traditionally used to answer these questions, like Religion, Philosophy, and many of the Sciences, have come up short. Otherwise, would we still be a...
KEW Episode 107 The Acid Test Questions: What Do We Want to Know
January 12, 2023 09:00 - 27 minutes - 19.2 MBWho Am I? Why Are We Here? What is My Purpose? Are We Living 'Right'? Questions like this - the 'big questions' have been around since antiquity. It's fun to think about when our brains reached a point in evolution where we started having luxury time. Because it's a luxury to think. To ask these kinds of questions means we've already met our basic needs. At some point, we could sit down and take a breath. And then our brains started flowing. We figured out how to not be hungry. We fi...
KEW Episode 106: Assumptions of the DNA Acid Test
January 05, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutes - 15.8 MBBefore embarking on an investigation any researcher worth their salt will state their assumptions. This lays the groundwork for what is to come and allows the reader to contextualize the investigation. In regular science, this is often ignored. It's a shame we seem to be losing this important piece of the discourse puzzle. Anyway, when it comes to the Acid Tests, most of my assumptions are 'what we already know' kinds of things. -DNA is the building block of life -The Big Bang probably h...
KEW Episode 105 The Flow-Based Neo Pseudo-Scientific Method Approach (Flow-Based Inquiry)
December 29, 2022 09:00 - 24 minutes - 16.7 MBThe KEW Acid Tests ask how Nature can inform the big questions humans ask. "Why are we here?", "Who am I?", and "What is our purpose" have puzzled humans for years - perhaps millennia. In the past 4,000 years or so, we have employed philosophy, religion, and science as mechanisms to ask and answer these big questions. While we certainly have learned a lot, the questions are too big to have definitive answers. I don't think they're the kind of questions that require answers. The joy is in the...
KEW Episode 104: The Acid Tests - The Problem and the Questions
December 22, 2022 09:00 - 26 minutes - 18 MBOne of the greatest mistakes made in science, by amateurs and professionals alike, is not knowing what the question is. What is the question!!!???? Say you are studying the effectiveness of a vaccine against some pathogen. What is the question? Too many times we get wrapped up in the specifics. The details. The minutia. We forget WHY we are doing this in the first place. In this case, I would say the question is, does this vaccine help reduce the problems associated with said pathogen? Maybe...
KEW Episode 103: Human Pros and Cons. We're not as evolved as you think.
December 15, 2022 09:00 - 15 minutes - 10.8 MBAs we conduct the great KEW acid tests I have to establish a baseline. In this episode I want to touch on a few elements of the 'human personality' and our 'global value system' that I think we can improve on. I think humans are great, but there are a few key items I want to mention: One of the big issues is that we think linearly. We tend to look at things as either improving or getting worse - over time. For something to be 'good' or 'successful', it has to 'get better' through time. If t...
KEW Episode 102: The Acid Test
December 08, 2022 09:00 - 23 minutes - 16.4 MBI apologize that it has been nearly a month since my re-introduction post and Episode 101. I have been overwhelmed with thoughts, ideas, tangents, trailheads, and rabbit holes regarding this new direction for my blog/podcast/and YouTube channel. In this Episode, and over the next 4-5 I will start to unravel this rats' nest into what I hope to be an interesting adventure. An acid test is a generic or colloquial term to refer to an assessment of value. Often, it is referencing something like ...
KEW Episode 101: Welcome Back! A New Direction for KEW
November 13, 2022 13:00 - 21 minutes - 15 MBIt's been six months. Though I wasn't sure what would happen with KEW, I knew I would be back. After 100 Episodes and over 30 interviews, I am inspired to work on new material here on Knowledge + Experience = Wisdom. I'm ready to get back on track releasing new Episodes weekly in podcast and YouTube video formats. Follow here, at Knowledge + Experience = Wisdom on your favorite podcast host, or on the YouTube channel (links to this episode below). In the last six months I have been work...
KEW Epilogue
June 10, 2022 09:00 - 19 minutes - 13.4 MBIn the most recent Episodes I shared the capstone of my work thus far on Knowledge + Experience = Wisdom. Episodes 99 and 100 represent the culmination of the preceding 98 Episodes and 30+ interviews. The Uniqueness Imperative and the Evolution Paradox emerged, organically, from two years of podcasting and blogging on KEW and I appreciate your help elucidating those ideas. For the past couple of weeks, (May - June, 2022) I decided to write a book to further develop these two ideas. But I r...
KEW Episode 100: The Evolution Paradox
June 03, 2022 09:00 - 26 minutes - 18.3 MBEverything about our 'biological-ness' is really about change. The developmental stages are all change. We all grow bigger through life. We go through a brief period of fast growth, then switch over to a period of reproduction. These things are true for all life forms. We share, with ALL biology, this unanimous and ubiquitous feature. We change. The universe also changes. The laws of thermodynamics essentially describe these changes. Physics studies the how's and what's about these change...
KEW Episode 99: The Uniqueness Imperative
May 27, 2022 09:00 - 26 minutes - 17.9 MBI kind of can't believe the title of Episode 99, but this is the culmination of the previous KEW Episodes and Interviews. Hopefully this body of work, thus far, has given me a bit of credibility. Coupled with my PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and over a decade in multiple modalities of therapy, counseling, and coaching, I think I have some room to 'weigh in' on some of the big questions. One of the emergent themes from the Are vs Should Problem investigation, which includes a 50-E...
KEW Episode 98: The Normal Curve
May 20, 2022 09:00 - 20 minutes - 14.2 MBAre you familiar with the 'bell curve'? It's also called a 'normal curve', or a Gaussian distribution because it describes what statisticians call a 'normal distribution'. Here's the wikipedia definition: a probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean And here's a video link if you want a more detailed explanation. Essentially, this picture is a visual image of how 'typical' things s...
KEW Episode 97: A New World View
May 13, 2022 09:00 - 25 minutes - 17.8 MBDo you put on your oxygen mask first? Then what? We help our kids, our partners, the people sitting next to us. But we don't think too much about what to do next. We are sort of obsessed with taking care of ourselves. And some of us suck at it. If you, like me, struggle with codependency, people pleasing, and conflict avoidance you may actually struggle with putting your needs first. Getting your needs met is THE FIRST STEP toward a better life. Unless you're incredibly selfish, then y...
KEW Episode 96: Type II Error
May 06, 2022 09:00 - 25 minutes - 17.4 MBYou know you do it. You think you are right about something, only to find out you were incredibly, undeniably, 180 degrees wrong. It happens. To all of us. To all of us humans, anyway. We all think we're right. If we didn't, we wouldn't have conviction. We'd be open. We'd be undecided. Once we have made a decision, well, that decision is correct, correct? I mean, right? But not always. Many of us are plagued by self-doubt. And this might be a healthy thing in this context. We should car...
KEW Episode 95: Cooperation vs Competition
April 29, 2022 09:00 - 21 minutes - 14.8 MBDo you enjoy friendly competition? Many of us do. Some say it brings out the best in us. Some thrive in an environment where other people push us to perform at higher and higher levels. I can appreciate friendly competition like this. But I rarely see it. And sometimes even friendly competition turns sour. Feelings get hurt. Tempers flare. The high level of energy surrounding competitive exchanges can often spill over into anger. In Economics we talk about competition in markets, and oft...
KEW Episode 94: Homeostasis
April 22, 2022 09:00 - 25 minutes - 17.6 MBDo you seek balance in your life, or do you go all-in on things you like? I used to think everyone wanted balance, and had a moderate approach to all things in order to maintain that balance across their varied interests. Given that there are only so many hours in a day, it's hard to do all the things we love to do - or even the things we don't want to do! But I have known folks who follow the, 'if it feels good, do it!' mantra and argue that moderation and/or balance is outright silly. B...
KEW Episode 93: Good vs Evil
April 15, 2022 09:00 - 20 minutes - 14.4 MBHave you ever been sucked into an internet thread and walked away feeling angry? You know, like a political rant thread? Identity politics? Ad hominem attacks and name-calling? Isn't that frustrating? That sentiment or feeling that other people are just mean, or evil, is part of what motivates this week's Episode. Many will argue that people are just 'bad', or even 'evil', and that's why we have bad things in the world. Like these internet haters. But I see it differently. I think we...
KEW Episode 92: Intuition
April 08, 2022 09:00 - 25 minutes - 17.6 MBHas anyone ever told you to turn off your analytical mind? Or to use your intuition? I'm lucky to have a coach that constantly asks my analytical self to step aside. The space that remains, sans analysis, is incredibly interesting. And I think it's where intuition lives. In fact, I'd say my idea of intuition was inaccurate. I guess I thought of it like a hunch. Or a tingly spidey sense. I'm not really sure what I thought intuition was. I like the idea of 'trusting your gut' because i...
KEW Episode 91: Walk the Talk
April 01, 2022 09:00 - 26 minutes - 18.2 MBMost of us are not perfect. I certainly am not. In fact,lately I have been replaying several moments from my life where I behaved poorly. But when I do this nowadays, I don't beat myself up. I have learned to find self-compassion for the person I used to be and to recognize I am no longer him. Integrity is the alignment of our values or beliefs with our actions or behavior. Even though I know I am human, I am still surprised when I catch myself behaving out of integrity or out of alignme...
KEW Episode 90: Improvisation, Yin-Yang, and the Grateful Dead
March 25, 2022 09:00 - 24 minutes - 16.7 MB"Leaping into the Abyss Requires Faith, but Will Set You Free" Have you ever had Analysis Paralysis, or been unable to make a decision? I'm sure you have - it happens all the time. Basically, we have two or more options, but we can't know for sure what the outcome of either decision will be. Carlos Castaneda, in the books about Don Juan and the Toltecs, described this as leaping into an Abyss. When my wife and I were contemplating marriage, we viewed our individual and collective futu...
KEW The Are vs Should Problem Interview Series: Candice Smiley
March 24, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 45.9 MBHave you experienced trauma? Have you overcome adversity? Many, if not most, of us have not have perfect lives. Candice Smiley is like us. Though we don't talk specifically about her past, you will be amazed to learn that this sophisticated, confident, and calm woman made it through her suffering. In fact, you will be impressed at her candor and her, well, knowledge, experience, and wisdom. We are lucky that Candice is healing and taking the time to share what worked for her. Because...
