Our next episode of Shining Light on Shadows will focus on Boundaries. There are so many different ways to approach this issue. Boundaries at home, at work, with friends, with strangers. Sometimes we need to have very strong boundaries to protect ourselves. Sometimes, we might opt to drop our boundaries (or have weak ones). Patricia Croom will be our guest. What are your thoughts on boundaries?
Episode 32 of “Shining Light on Shadows: A Candid Conversation About Mental Health” will be live Thursday, June 26 at 7 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. CT / 4 p.m. PT. If you can’t watch the live show feel free to watch the recording on the same links.

Our setup will be a little different. I’ll be in Milwaukee in the same room as Dawn. We’ll be hosted by Candace Sanchez. I’m in town for the Paths to Healing Conference she is organizing for survivors of sexual assault. Digimentors is one of the sponsors. Dawn and I are hosting a workshop on how this podcast has helped us in our own journeys.
