Why do some places make us feel alive, while others make us feel invisible?
In this episode, Laura Giles opens up about a moment that hit unexpectedly hard—and what it revealed about community, trauma, and the invisible threads that connect us. From film festivals to big-box stores, we explore the spaces where our souls light up... and where they go dim.
If you’ve ever felt like an outsider in a crowd or longed for more meaningful connection, this conversation might be the spark you need.
