Episode notes

In this episode, I talk with one of my best friends, the Honorable Jeannine Pearce. Jeannine is a former Long Beach City Council member, mom, community leader, and scholar.

Jeannine shares some of her personal story, which includes many traumatic experiences, as well as experiences of deep love and passions that shape the person she is today. We talk about community organizing, parenting and co-parenting, intentional friendships, practices that support resilience and growth, and integrity in leadership, among many other topics.

 This conversation will leave you inspired and intrigued, and I hope it fills your cup.
