In this deeply personal episode, I confront the heavy reality of sending my kids back to school amidst the growing threat of gun violence.

The ever growing list of communities impacted by gun violence in schools demands a conversation. So in this episode we talk about how to manage those anxieties, prepare our children, and advocate for change.

It’s an honest conversation about fear, safety, and finding ways to move forward — even when it feels like the world is falling apart.
