I'm Frickin' Lonely...Tell Me Your Story (Staying Connected Through Conversation)

In its original iteration, this podcast explored the ways we'd all been impacted by the pandemic; hearing from my guests how the "COVID years" changed the trajectory of their lives, plans, or sense of purpose. And how they were still able to do great things in spite of and sometimes even because of this "crisis".
Now the content has evolved beyond COVID to conversations and stories about people's lives, paths, passions and sense of purpose. We are talking with leaders in the arts, humanities, community service and just plain great people and learning lessons from what they have to share. Some stories will be funny, some sad, some inspirational.
Please join me in the conversations!
