Connection From Here: Finding Community in a Changing World

Send us a text

In this season finale of Connection from Here, hosts Ashley and Michele Perry take a heartfelt look back at the season, exploring the universal search for community, belonging, and meaning. Through their own reflections and memorable moments from past guest conversations, they unpack the lived experiences, personal stories, and lessons that connect us all, even in times of change and uncertainty.

Topics covered:

• How sharing and listening to real experiences fosters empathy, connection, and community.
• The importance of being able to show up fully and imperfectly in communities that value psychological safety.
• Embracing discomfort, uncertainty, and openness as essential to learning and building stronger relationships.
• How small acts of inclusion, kindness, and courage can inspire broader community impact.
• Encouragement to stay connected by joining communities, continuing the dialogue, and reaching out to others on the same journey.

As you reflect on your own journey, remember: it’s okay to not have all the answers and to be in the “messy middle.” True connection starts with sharing your story, listening deeply, and staying open to growth.
