68 - Update on Leaving Neverland II, the Menéndez case & my own Healing Journey

1. I wanted to update listeners on the follow-up to the HBO/Max documentary “Leaving Neverland”

2. In addition, I wanted to update my listeners on the Erik & Kyle Menéndez case that I mentioned in Episodes 47 & 63

3. I also wanted to share about my own personal Healing Journey especially after attending a Regional Men’s Retreat where I got triggered.
