Hidden Connection Tallie Gabriel

As much of the world remains quarantined due to COVID-19, folks have to get creative when it comes to connecting with one another. In this episode, I speak with a single woman who has been going on virtual dates, and a cellist who's been arranging video projects for a remote cello choir.

In our most "hippie" episode yet, we explore more stories of connection with one another as well as feeling and yearning for a connection with something bigger than ourselves, and why some of us are a little desperate for that type of connection.

In this episode, you hear stories from Rachel Schmeling and Ryan Mahoney. Vincent Cinque sings the lullaby.

Trans Day of Remembrance is November 20 -- visit The Chipped Cup in the week leading up (and on the day of) to participate in fundraising events for the Ali Forney Center, including a donation-based yoga class lead by Mindful Michael.

What makes us return to one store or service provider over its competitors? What makes us choose to one workplace out of all of the offers we get?

The answer is often rooted in the people that work there and the small moments of human connection and recognition they show us along the way. Moments that aren't part of a larger marketing campaign or stunt, but come from a place of genuine compassion.
