In this inaugural episode of Care OUTLOUD's The Heart of It All solo series, Mary Coughlin explores the profound connection between trauma and healing, science and soul, care and courage.
Mary challenges the notion that love is merely sentimental, emphasizing its role as a first medicine and a powerful agent against trauma. She argues that real love involves presence, protection, and relational regulation and is an act of defiance against systems that do not reward love.
The episode calls listeners to reflect on their understanding and practice of love and to take actionable steps to embody it in their everyday lives.
