Note: We record our episodes over Zoom. Although we do our best to prevent distracting background noises from appearing on our recordings, sometimes we miss them. This was one of those times. This episode was recorded while L'Shawn was at home during her kids' fall break. Occasionally, especially at 12 minutes and 54 seconds and 14 minutes and 41 seconds, you will hear L'Shawn's son screaming at his computer. We apologize if those outbursts in the background make it difficult for you to listen to this episode.
