What actually makes a place feel like home?

This week we sat down with Park City Councilwoman Molly Miller for one of our favorite conversations yet — covering everything from growing up as the youngest of five girls in Michigan, cleaning motel rooms in Maine at eight years old, working in news, interning at Saturday Night Live, falling in love over early Twitter, and eventually finding her way to Park City.

But underneath all of it was a bigger conversation about instincts, parenting, failure, preparation, confidence, community, and what it means to build a life that feels meaningful.

We talked about:

• Why “nobody cares” can actually be freeing
• The difference between preparation and practice
• Scarcity vs. abundance in mountain towns
• Raising kids who trust themselves
• Why Park City still feels magical
• Council, criticism, and learning in public
• Moving through life transitions without fear
• The people who make a community great

One of the more thoughtful and human conversations we’ve had so far.
