Perspectives
Podcast Description
We believe that when people share their experiences—across generations, cultures, and backgrounds—they offer insights that strengthen the communities we live in. Conversations that begin locally can be enriched by broader voices, bringing fresh context, challenges, and inspiration that help us grow together.
Each episode also includes input from our tween contributors, whose questions and reflections often open up new ways of thinking. Their questions add richness to the conversation and create opportunities for learning and connection across all ages.
This podcast isn’t just a platform—it’s part of how we imagine better communities: by listening more closely, learning from each other, and creating new ways to reconnect with what matters, right where we are.

Care is everywhere, in the quiet acts that hold families together, in the advocacy that challenges broken systems, and in the resilience of those who show up, again and again, for others.
In this week’s Perspectives Podcast, we explore the many layers of caregiving, personal, professional, and systemic. Our guests, Rachell Dumas, and Kristi Horner, bring deeply human stories of loss, advocacy, and renewal.
Rachell opens up about her journey through multiple pregnancy losses and the creation of a nonprofit supporting mothers. Her courage shows how storytelling can become a form of healing. She shares her dual experience as a nurse and patient, offering insight into healthcare trauma and the importance of self-advocacy and doula support.
Kristi, through Courage to Caregivers, reminds us that caregiving begins with self-care, that to sustain others, we must also sustain ourselves.
The conversation touches on maternal health, mental wellness, and the power of community in transforming care systems. Above all, it reminds us that care is not just what we do — it’s who we are.
Listen In to the full conversation.
