2 Lives - A storytelling podcast about the moments that transform us. 2 Lives - The second begins the moment we realize we have only one.  Amy Green Smith felt silenced by guilt and fear as a kid growing up in a conservative evangelical Christian family. It wasn’t until she came face to face with her father’s dead body that she had the courage to leave her own religion, stop placating her family, and use her voice. 2 Lives is written and hosted by Laurel Morales, story edited by Camila Kerwin of the Rough Cut Collective. Halle Hewitt is our new assistant producer. Annie Gerway is our illustrator and web designer. Music from Blue Dot Sessions.
