The momentum is building for the World Premiere of RETURN TO ZERO on LIFETIME this Saturday, May 17that 8pm Eastern / 7pm Central!
 
The press has been amazing! We’ve been featured on Ellen, Entertainment Tonight, the CBS Morning News, and you can tune in to see Minnie discuss RETURN TO ZERO on “The Talk” today!

Her focus is on women who have been through the loss of a baby and how one can journey through grief to healing. You can find more information about her upcoming retreats and sign up for her mailing list here.
