This impromptu episode happened organically, and I’m so grateful it did.

After listening to a deeply personal recording between Emily and I, my producer Tracey had an emotional reaction—and an epiphany. She realized that in her 40 + years of life, she had never told her friends she wasn’t okay. She had never asked for help. Always the cheerleader. Always the strong one.

So I invited her to drop in and let the circle hold her for a change.

This is what we mean when we say the circle continues. When one brave voice ripples into another. When the one holding space is invited to receive.
