Join us for a raw and unforgettable conversation with Tawny, who was born into chaos: a mother she describes as a “professional alcoholic,” a father tied to a 1%er motorcycle gang and meth manufacturing, and a childhood where survival felt normal. Her story moves through addiction, motherhood, recovery, and the devastating death of her son — the kind of loss that shattered every illusion of contro...

Shame does not just tell you that you did something wrong. Shame tells you you are wrong . It tells you God is tired of the same prayer, the same weakness, the same relapse, the same need, the same mess.
