"Hear me! Look at me! See me! Value me!"...It's one of the loudest messages I'm hearing in my Listening October exercise. So, today it's fitting to remind us that WE can choose to thrive by being the one who SEES and HEARS the one who is desperate for the same. Please listen as my friend Rachel Pieh Jones reminds us how to answer someone else's cry to be seen, known, and loved...merely by being curious!

// Original Show Notes //

You're going to be blown away by Rachel Pieh Jones, our Season 2 opener!  We talk about so much incredible stuff, like being drawn to understand the refugee experience, thriving in a foreign country, learning to lean in to outsiders and embrace those who are different from us.  Yes, we talk about how embracing curiosity changes our lives!
