View Episode 7: Some of the Story of My Dad

Jacob and Judy use the OSHO Zen Tarot Deck and pull the major arcana card, II Inner Voice. We talked about listening to our inner voices and how that can look. Judy shares some experiences hearing/following that voice and other times that she did not recognize it. We also spent time talking about the story of Judy and my Dad meeting, starting their relationship, and what led up to the murders he committed.

• We spent time talking about getting released from prison and some of the challenges with that. Pager (2003) shares some of the challenges that people face after incarceration. My father wasn’t Black, but all of the problems in the prison system are exacerbated in the Black and ethnic minority communities that it is crucial to understanding. Writing in the Atlantic, Coats (2015) provides some meaningful context to this plight.
