Life with People

Theresa Babbitt

Life with People: A podcast on building community right where you are. Hey guys! I’m Theresa and I love doing life with people. I'm convinced that community brings meaning, belonging and purpose to our daily lives, but sadly, we often find ourselves disconnected from the authentic forms of community we deeply long for. My goal with this podcast is to give hope that finding, building, rebuilding or reimagining community is not only possible, it’s within reach; and to release vision on how to can move toward it while providing resources and tools to help make it happen. I’m here learning right along with you. I literally started this podcast out of my own place of longing to build community in this weird divided world we find ourselves in.

    Episode 9: On Friendship & Healing; Not A Run Club with Matthew Bacchus

    In this episode, I catch up with my friend, Matthew Bacchus. Matthew is a licensed professional counselor based out of CO and TX. I wanted to have Matthew on the podcast because he has a gift for connecting with people and cultivating friendships.  The episode is full of life and fun and laughter, but we also hit some very deep topics, so I wanted to give you a heads up that there are a couple of points in this episode where we talk about sensitive things like suicide and self-harm. That being said, I wanna take a quick moment to say thank you to Matthew for sharing his life with us and for being willing to share some pretty vulnerable parts of his story. As always, I value your feedback. So feel free to DM me, email me, take our community survey, send up a flare, do whatever you gotta do, but please reach out!

    Episode 6: Holding Space for Grief Part 1 with Noelle Roberts

    This episode kicks off a series of conversations around the topic of grief and how we can hold space for it in our relationships. It's a topic that while I feel is gaining more awareness, is more often ignored when we think about building community and doing life with people. Truthfully, I think one of the main reasons is because it feels hard, heavy and it often requires something from us. It requires courage to wade into the uncomfortable waters of grief, to sit with them in their losses and to walk alongside them in dark seasons. And because grief looks and feels different for everyone I think one of the most powerful ways we can learn about it is by hearing people's stories. In this episode I talk with my good friend Noelle Roberts about her story of loss, facing a side of God she didn't recognize, sifting through ashes and learning how to dream again. You're going to want to lean in for this one...  To connect more with Noelle:IG: @noellerobertsstudioWebsite: Noelle Roberts Studio Find Noelle on the Playbook AppBooks mentioned in the episode that were helpful to Noelle during the early stages of grief.A Grief Observed by C.S.
