Hosted by Rachel Reynolds and Jonathan Miller, each episode tells the real-life story of a journey through hardships like housing insecurity, hunger, trauma, and addiction. Each episode also features a subject matter expert — like a neuroscientist or a shelter director — to further contextualize the subject.
