Hey, before you leave, if you loved this episode, would you do me a personal favor, an 18-second favor, and share it? Maybe on social or by text or by email? Even just with one person? Just copy the link from the app you’re using (usually a box with an "up" arrow or three dots) and share with those you know, those you love, those who need to feel less alone in this world.
Tell them to listen, invite them to talk about what came up for you both. Because when thoughts and ideas have a platform for sharing, you can find deeper, more meaningful connection with those you already know.
