Hi, I’m Natalie Ginor. In this podcast, I am embarking on a journey to share the stories of relatable people, whose lives, like most of ours, are complex, burdened, and filled with both sorrow and vitality. Their resilience, empathy, and curiosity serve as inspiration for living with the challenges, shadowed realities, and beauty woven into the intricacies of life. It is in these shared stories that perhaps we will grapple with our own responses to challenge and how perhaps eventually we can bring our own grace for impact.
