Dear listener, you might have noticed that PAVE podcast hasn't published a podcast in several weeks. Due to unforeseen circumstances for which I had to visit the ER and now have several hospital appointments we had to cancel several guests. That's why we couldn't publish the amount of episodes as we would have loved to publish. We hope for your understanding and can't wait to inspire you with new episodes in the (very) nearby future. If you have any questions, please send them to: alianne@professionalsagainstviolence.com. Warmly, Alianne

The judge then turned to me and asked; if you were to[...]
