Tim Merry & Tuesday Rivera

We’re doing it live, and inviting you in. Welcome! As Tim says in the first episode: reflection is too important to leave to chance. These conversations give us (and you!) a chance to slow down, catch our breath, and see our space and our work more clearly. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
