From Judgment to Forgiveness: Diane's Heartwarming Holiday Journey
Recovery for me is finding that space not running- not running because I'm not unsafe- and learning how to put a little space between me and all the things I love- lovers, friends, colleagues, bosses, whatever it is.
What better way to embrace the holiday spirit than with a story of transformation? In this special episode of 'Cross Talk', Corey and Claire invite Diane to share her remarkable journey from judgment to forgiveness.
