When Discernment Isn't Discernment

Discernment can sound calm and considered, but what happens when fear, judgment, emotion, or bias takes its place? Jean and Joanne explore discernment as a whole-self practice involving thought, feeling, intuition, and the body — including the value of the pause, even when a decision cannot wait. **About Rooted Voices, Sacred Bones** *Rooted Voices, Sacred Bones* is a raw conversational podcast hosted by Jean Hamilton-Fford, Jillian Starman, and Joanne Sprott. Together, we explore the inner architecture of being human: voice, creativity, inner authority, memory, intuition, identity, and the deeper stories that shape the way we live, create, and lead.
