Happy Juneteenth! First things first, we want to issue a content warning for this week's episode. We are dealing with some really heavy topics this week, discussing the SBC report, the Uvalde and Buffalo shootings, and other recent tragedies. Before anything else, we want this podcast to be a safe space for you, but we feel that it would be disingenuous to not talk about these issues. So if you aren't in a space to handle this discussion, no worries. Join us next week when we talk about the importance of self-care. Stay safe, and know that you're not alone.
