YKMN podcast featuring in-depth life stories of those marginalized in our society as well as those reaching out in service. From these life stories we hope to spark conversation and connection. We are doing this with the sole purpose of bringing us all closer together so that we can better address the issues that divide us. When we listen to those living different lives or views from our own, we begin a journey of understanding. An understanding of not only those around us, but also ourselves. Available on all podcasting platforms or on each episode page.

EP026: Take a deep breath

Tracy and I met 9 years ago when she commented on the Facing Homelessness Facebook page. Her sharing was, you could say, a tour de force of emotional outpouring.

Today I want to revisit that exchange because something important happened, something I believe is available to all of us and provides a path for moving forward when discussing difficult societal issues.

    I’m very grateful for the people sharing their stories here. The podcast does not oversimplify the solutions, but does help us understand some of the problems and shares with us the humanity in people many of us otherwise would not see.

    I’m so impressed with the interviews, which have given me better insight as to these people’s lives. Sensitive and caring questions, real answers. Hopefully more people will listen and possibly get involved. Or maybe they can just say hello.

    Everyone who has ever felt fear, apathy, or hopeless when confronted with homeless individuals in our neighborhoods or the scale of our homelessness crisis should give this a listen. Building compassion and understanding is good for the soul.
