Who are you and who do you want to become? Who or what influences you along the way? Each season on The Stories That Shape Us, your hosts Tina Morales, Speaker, Couples Therapist, and Founder of Living in Light, LLC and Kiara Johnson, Owner of ATL Kula, reflect openly about the stories that are influencing their, and their guests, lives. We have hard conversations about faith, identity, relationships, leadership and so much more. If you want  a peek into journeys of healing and becoming, we invite you to listen in on the conversation and leave transformed.
