It's A Wonderful Life with Elly Cohen

There's something about Mary this week on the podcast because we are talking Christmas classic "It's A Wonderful Life" with a focus on Mary Bailey, the main character's wife! Our guest is Senior Recruiter, Job Search Specialist, and our good friend, Elly Cohen. The conversation was inspired by several articles, including this one in The Bulwark. This was a really thoughtful discussion and we hope you enjoy it.

CW: Talk of depression and suicide. If you need help, there are people that can listen when you call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
