Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about connection. How easy it is to overlook. How much it matters. And how the smallest moments — a conversation, a laugh, someone asking how you’re really doing — can remind us we’re not alone.

This episode is about those moments. It’s about the ways we carry heavy things quietly, the ways connection can hold us up, and why showing up for each other matters more than we realize.

If you’re feeling worn down, disconnected, or just wondering if anyone else gets it — this one’s for you.
