Seeing the Unseen with Gail McDonald — Bias, Memory, and Emotion-Blind Spots Wear Many Masks
In this introductory episode of Blind Spots, host Gail McDonald shares the heart behind the podcast and why uncovering our blind spots is so important for personal growth, relationships, and decision-making.

She also shares her own story of becoming a coach, lessons learned from clients, and the challenges of facing the unknown.
