A Lesson in Trust and Discernment
Candace reflected on the experience as a turning point in her social decision-making. The incident taught her and Valeri an important lesson about vetting invitations more carefully. “We just had no idea what we were walking into, and it was so disgusting and gross,” she emphasized to her podcast audience.
