Practicing Connection

This is our annual Reflections episode, where we invite some of our podcast collaborators from the past year to share their reflections with us. Why? Because at the heart of meaningful connection, communication, and collaboration is the ongoing journey of self-awareness, learning, and growth. Regular reflection helps us stay grounded, inspired, and ready for the challenges ahead.

In this episode, co-hosts Jessica Beckendorf and Bob Bertsch reflect on the year that’s passed, highlighting the importance of finding inspiration in the midst of everyday moments and in collective efforts to support others. We also hear from two special guests who share their reflections on resilience, collaboration, and the power of community:

• Nicola Winkel, Project Director, Arizona Coalition for Military Families
• Kristen Jowers, Program Coordinator, OneOp (University of Kentucky)

Tune in as they share how they've found inspiration through difficult work, the beauty of small moments, and the strength of community connection during challenging times.
