In this powerful episode of Facets of Connection, Sarah sits down with Tracy McCartney— mother, writer, connector, and co-founder of Red Canary Magazine — for a heart-opening conversation about how storytelling fuels social and environmental justice. From typewriting poems as a toddler to creating an award-winning magazine amplifying marginalized voices, Tracy shares her inspiring journey of transforming grief, rage, and love for the Earth into real-world action. They dive deep into how independent journalism can heal communities, why true connection is at the heart of activism, and why caring for the planet and caring for each other are inseparable.
If you've ever wondered how your unique gifts can ripple out to make real change (even when the world feels overwhelming), this conversation is a must-listen.
