Mar 29, 2021 - But I digress...
Our guest is author and activist Mia Birdsong, and we’re talking all about the importance of building and reinforcing community, especially in middle age. It’s an interesting take on just what having a successful life is really all about, and I found it quite inspiring. Listen in on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I’m so glad you featured Mia. I know her a bit, and she’s a beautiful person and an inspiration.
Thank you! Such a great conversation!! A lot to think about.
Community and connectivity are so important; central to our humanity, the source of strength and solace. (And political power, never forget.)
While I’ve been in contact with very few people in the last year, those relationships have deepened and evolved. I’ve thought a lot about my emotional bandwidth (a term Mia used, too), what I have to give the people I care about, near or far. There were so many things in this podcast that resonated, it seems like a topic you could revisit in future episode(s).
