Summary

(Part 2 of 2) Sofia, my guest today, was at work when a customer, without her permission, touched her on her lower back. She felt disgusted, and she has continued to feel unsafe at her workplace since then. Join Sofia and me as she courageously discovers the actual cause of her suffering and how to end it. I invite you to clear your mind, take a deep breath, and together let’s do The Work.
