Tish Melton: "Because we're adventurers and hot freaks, I'll have a final destination. We've stopped asking directions and places they've never been" Brandy Carlisle: "I'm the one for me and because I'm mine, I walk the line."

For the first time, Glennon requests a one-on-one with our guest – author and poet Maggie Smith – in this deeply honest conversation about: how to tell the brutal truth without betraying our people, how to reclaim ourselves after infidelity and betrayal, how the shaming of women who dare to tell their stories keeps us powerless and isolated, and how they both have embraced acceptance instead of “forgiveness.”
