1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. This pretty much sums up the podcast. We will be talking about how people are not sure how to love and is loving each other with fear in their hearts. There is no trust anymore. I will give some opinion on how to reach that goal with a Godly approach. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donna-t8/message

This is a song that I wrote back in 2020 and it's about feeling trapped with a lot of emotions and pain and I was able to express myself through music to tell my story. I wrote this song because sometime it's hard to express one's self and writing about feels magical because it actually feels like your confronting the person that is hurting you. I also want to give credit to two of my close friends Rifka Kaplan Peck and Jeff Peck who has worked so hard in the studio to make the song sound great. Thanks for playing the Bass and the lead guitar because you guys are very talented.:) Please enjoy this song..

This conversation is about the WNBA and the mistreatment and disrespect they have to endure as athletes. They don't get the same respect has the men in the NBA and their pay rate is very low compare to their male counterpart. The WNBA players are very talented and are just as entertaining as the men basketball team. Also, we discus and compare other woman sports like tennis and soccer and how these teams don't have that much trouble being promoted and gain the same respect as their male counterpart. For example, Serena Williams and Osaka gets the money they deserve and their name is well known in the sports world whereas, Diana Taurasi who is compared to Michael Jordan don't get the respect she deserve. Just wanted to thank Taylor St. Pierre for joining me in the discussion on the this controversial topic on the Gender Pay Gap in the WNBA. I decided to use Taylor because he gave me so much perspective on the topic and he also challenged me to approach the topic in a non bias way and to look  at the situation from all stand points and not to just think because they are females that is the reason for their struggles. But there are other things that is at play like being promoted and not getting enough views and not being fully funded. So reading the article gave me more information on the topic. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donna-t8/message
