Just Make the Call: How even a few minutes can make a big impact

from The School of Hard Knocks · host Darcie Burtch

Have you ever been in the middle of something—cooking, driving, scrolling—and suddenly thought, “I should call them”? Most of us push that thought aside, worried about time, interruptions, or inconveniencing someone else. But what if those nudges are exactly what we should follow?In this episode, I share the importance of picking up the phone and making those small but powerful connections. I even recorded a recent call with my grandma after dedicating my Empower Her chapter to her and my grandpa—a six-minute conversation that meant the world to us both.The truth is, we rarely regret the calls we make… but sometimes we deeply regret the ones we didn’t.Take this as your reminder: pause, pick up the phone, and reach out. Six minutes could change everything.You can reach me at [email protected]
