The Release with Dr. Tafona Ervin

In this episode of The Release Podcast, we’re diving into the sacred journey from self-interrogation to self-actualization — the inner work that transforms our quiet questioning into bold becoming.  Self-interrogation isn’t about judging ourselves; it’s about telling the truth with compassion.
