I go Round 2 with Paula TK and Deme the Great. We discuss the afterlife, dreams, the day of the funeral, religion, and a few more topics in the episode.

Thank you Paula TK for writing the intro. Thank Eli Shoemaker for recording the intro.

Ty-The Best Big Brother
I sit down with Kassie to discuss Tyrelle(Ty). We get to discuss Ty, religion, grief, and life in general. Kassie has started a business dedicated to Ty. By putting Ty's name in name of the business, she has opened that door for her to be able to discuss Ty's life with people. What a clever way to get them to start the conversation.
Thank you Kassie for sharing Ty with me.
