Last week (March 18), we talked about how hero worship has been destroying our country and often our own personal lives. The result was amazing. Viewers got a new perspective on hero worship and how it has been damaging us, and they started challenging it. One of those viewers has already dramatically turned this pattern around in her life and work, and she would like to share this journey. An artist, writer and more, we meet Catalina Guzman.
