  • Giving Grace with Tabitha Brown
    Feb 8 2023

    In this episode of The Antidote, Amy and Grace connect with actor, entrepreneur, and two-time New York Times bestselling author Tabitha Brown about the joy of giving grace to others, how to adopt a vegan lifestyle, and why there’s no such thing as time wasted.

    Amy and Grace share their bummer news of the week – a mom gets called a bully for protecting her daughter, and a metaphorical clock sounding an alarm for humanity. They also share their antidotes: closet organizing, and impromptu friend visits.
