43: Looking Forward: So Much More To Talk About

Here we are at the end of 2022, and in this episode, we take time to reflect on some of our topics this past year, as well as what we’re proud of at Respect Circles. We also look forward to what else is possible with this platform we’ve built, and to consider the conversations ahead this upcoming year. 

Looking forward, there are so many topics we want to talk about, including the importance of reducing the stigma associated with focusing on mental health, as well as how critical self-care and movement are to our overall well-being. In this episode, we explore different ways to show up as better neighbors and to recreate the sense of community that was somewhat lost through the pandemic, along with more topics that we’re excited to explore.

A lot happened in 2022, and we know we’re just scratching the surface with what we, along with you, can achieve with Respect Circles. We wish you and your loved ones the very best this holiday season, and we can’t wait to bring you more episodes in the new year! 

And as we’ve been doing the last few weeks, we’re excited to share our latest nominees for our new Models of Respect segment, highlighting people in the world that are living and demonstrating our Respect Circles values. If you have someone in mind that you’d like to nominate and have featured on a future episode, please let us know!
