Sarah and William process the feelings so many of us have but don't discuss, of disconnection and lack of community. They talk about the fallout of Covid-19 and how we need a sense of belonging in all different areas of our lives. How do we create (or re-create) community? What does community mean? How do we invite others into our worlds? And, most important: will we be brave enough not to suffer in silence but to raise our ha...
