Sometimes Your Support System Finds You Before You Find It
About this episode
We often assume we’re alone when life changes.
That’s exactly how I felt when I returned to college in the fall of 1988.
My closest friends were gone, and I believed I was beginning the year without a support system. What I didn’t know was that others had already stepped into that role.
In this episode, I share how my best friend’s family continued to watch over me, how an unexpected friendship introduced me to an entirely different culture, and why one conversation changed the way I think about being approachable.
This episode is about the quiet ways people invest in us before we even realize they care. Sometimes grace arrives long before we recognize it.
