Laura + Julia
It’s how we relate. It’s what we expose and we embrace. It’s where we share, we understand. It’s vulnerable. It’s intimate. It’s raw. It’s real. It makes sense of the dark. Inside The Light.
What a better word to choose for this season's finale than, progress. On this episode Julia and Laura discuss what specific experiences they've had while recording Inside The Light. There's no beating around the bush here. They reflect on all of the growth that has occurred within the last year physically and mentally through life's various ups and downs, as well as all the things they're excited for moving forward. Turning on the light hasn't been easy but it's been worth it and we are very thankful to those of you that have been apart of this journey so far!
