When bad things happen to good people, is there a reason? Cristina Bernardo thinks so - but not in the classic sense of thinking things happen FOR a reason. After losing her baby girl and others close to her in 2020, she learned that things happen and WE have to find the reason. And she's taking her reason to a higher level by giving other parents a greater level of confidence when raising their kids.

The episode is titled “Cup of Genius” because Gayle, Louisa and guest Joanna Zhang talk a lot about how you make choices to fill your life with purpose using your own unique gifts and talents. Rather than “filling your cup” with all the expectations other people have for you, it’s our hope that after hearing this conversation you can take a deep drink from your own well of genius and see what happens!

Judgment is easy. We do it all the time. We judge people’s choices. We judge their reactions and the way they live their lives. Sometimes we even convince ourselves we are helping when we point out what they should do differently. But judgment starts to look different when you slow down and take a closer look.
