In this episode of Talking Life in Vermont, I sit down with Corissa Burnell and Bodie Barton from the Rutland Area Parent Child Center for a conversation about family, fatherhood, community, resilience, and what it really means to support people with dignity.
We talk about Bodie’s work with the Fatherhood Program, Dad’s Café, the importance of giving fathers and male caregivers a place to connect, and the many ways the Parent Child Center is helping families across Rutland County. We also get into personal stories, gratitude, vulnerability, food, music, and the kind of community work that can quietly change generations.
A huge thank you to ICO Electric for sponsoring this episode, and to The Hub for providing the space to keep these local conversations going.
