We all go through valleys in life, and during these times it’s easy to feel disconnected and alone. Shame, uncertainty, and grief can lead us to stay silent. But it’s crucial to talk about our experiences—especially as parents, when isolation can hit hard. 

Today's clip features David Brooks, who points out the deep crisis of isolation and fragmentation facing our society. He talks about a range of everyday yet exceptional people he calls Weavers, who lead lives of greater purpose and joy through human connection. Real change begins not with so-called “success,” but with awareness and small meaningful actions starting right in your home.
