[007] The Village We Forgot: Grief, Gossip & Showing Up When It Matters Most
Manage episode 485923795 series 3658902
When someone close to me passed away tragically, I paused everything—including this episode. But what started as a story about helping a stranger in a strawberry patch became something much deeper: a raw reflection on grief, gossip, community, and what it means to truly show up for each other. This is an invitation to rebuild the village—one moment of presence, truth, and heart at a time.
In this episode:
- The Importance of Showing Up [01:46]
- Erica's Story: A Ripple of Kindness [08:02]
- Rebuilding the Village: Addressing Gossip [17:18]
- The Power of Human Connection [24:22]
- Closing Thoughts and Call to Action [29:51]
This one matters because the world is heavy, and people are carrying more than they let on. It’s a reminder to choose SOUL over SCROLL, to trust your gut, and to start rebuilding the village—one moment, one check-in, one real connection at a time.
Reflection Question:
Am I building the kind of village I’d want to be part of—if I was the one in crisis?
If today’s episode stirred something real in you, pass it on. Send it to the friend who gets it — the one who’s walking their own brave, messy, beautiful path. We’re not meant to unlearn and rebuild alone.
