We live in a world driven by deadlines, paychecks, and political division. But what happens during those moments in between? It’s those small slices of exchange that make up a life. Moments with neighbors, partners, kids, and caregivers. Coming to the table with three very different life experiences we are meeting each other where we are at- and asking the big questions about how to survive and thrive in those moments in between. This is the “Love in Common” podcast.

Wisdom, empathy, and humanity in spades

The diverse perspectives, stories, and wisdom brought forth on Love in Common will deepen your sense of empathy towards the world around you and leave you with a feeling of gratitude for where you’re at. Not to mention it’s just straight up entertaining, fun, and engaging. There’s a thread of humanity and tenderness grounded in raw authenticity that each host brings that sets this show apart. Highly recommended.
