Ep. 82 The Abortion Episode with Thais Sky
Hi all, Thais here. This episode is special and different. In this final episode of season two of RECLAIM, we dive into the topic of abortion. I intentionally created this episode based on what I wish I knew about abortions including a short history, a discussion on morality, why it's not a gendered issue, what you can expect and how to give support to someone who is going through an abortion. Take your time listening to this episode because it can get heavy, but I think in this important time of our history in the United States, we have to be having this conversation. Thank you for being here and being a part of this amazing community.

Ep. 77 How to Move Through the World as an Empath
Thais takes on another listener question in this episode of RECLAIM. As we start on our healing journey, we start becoming viscerally aware of the emotional wounds of others. The question then lies on how do we move through the world when we are so aware of other people's pain? What is our role and what boundaries should we place? In this episode we also explore the concept of the inner child.
