In this episode Jackie talks about the 100 deadliest days of Summer on highways and roads throughout the United States where fatalities from car accidents see a sharp increase.  Why does this happen? Does heat have an impact on conflict and violence and how does this relate to recovery?

In this episode, Jackie talks about the reversal of Roe and our ability as humans to not see what is right in front of us.  This ability impacts the plight of women in many ways and with the reversal of these constitutional rights that recognized a woman's ability to make choices for her body and her life.  With this reversal what will be the impact going forward? We do not know because we have not been to this place before in the history of the United States where rights that have been given are revoked. 

Can we understand the plight of women from how they have been viewed through the patriarchal lens? Perhaps? Can we learn why progress on issues that impact women has been slow or nonexistent? That is the hope with this episode.

In this episode, Jackie talks about the vulnerable moments that we share.  Where we show up for people, celebrate with people, grieve with people and let others know they are not alone.  

This episode follows the verdict rendered in the Depp v Heard defamation lawsuit.  While the outcome of this case has been decided by a jury, there is much for us to learn as we look at how public verdicts are rendered and the fallout that happens when the public gets it wrong.  

This episode was prompted by the ongoing discussion playing out currently through a celebrity defamation lawsuit.  Nobody watching or listening is able to provide accurate diagnostic information, which makes it even more important to shape the conversation about how this court proceeding is being viewed and talked about.  When issues regarding domestic violence make it into the spotlight, often the reactions and discussion can impede future victims of domestic violence from coming forward and seeking help and safety.  This episode is an attempt to bring proper attention to the issue of domestic violence and provide a deeper discussion about the underlying issues for those in situations of domestic violence.  There are also current statistics about DV in the show notes for those interested.
