In a lyrical, all of a sudden amusing talk about heavy topics such as frayed relationships and the death of a loved one, Elizabeth Lesser explains the healing process of putting aside pride and defensiveness to make way for soul-baring and truth-telling.

"Be like a brand-new sort of very first responder … the one to take the first bold action toward the other."
