Episode Description

I showed up in the second grade and knew nobody. Nerves. Anxiety. Fears of every kind. And then Casey passed me the football during recess one day - and it changed everything because there is profound power, possibility, and healing available to us when we discover where and how we belong - and when we help others know the same.

And in a country in which we are facing an epidemic of loneliness and isolation, giving and receiving this gift is an urgent need.

It’s the latest Small Story - enjoy!
