A Great Place To Be

This episode takes you back to the moment I realized my mission — and the real reason why so many of us struggle to show up online.It started in a Grade 6/7 classroom, where I went to talk about social media. I thought I’d be teaching these kids how to build relationships and use the internet for good… but instead, they taught me something that changed everything.What began as a talk about social media became a revelation about people — about how deeply we crave connection but how few of us were ever taught how to relate to ourselves first.This is where my mission was born: to civilize.To help people learn how to connect with themselves, so they can connect more meaningfully with each other.Instagram: @origiginge

In this first episode, I’m sharing the story behind A Great Place to Be. I talk about my journey as someone who naturally brings people together, why I believe conversation is one of the most powerful tools we have, and what inspired me to start this podcast.You’ll hear what this show is all about, what kinds of conversations we’ll explore, and why creating spaces where people feel connected and like they belong matters so much to me.
