52. Finding Worth in Stillness: A Bostonian's Rural Reckoning
In this episode, Beth recounts Skip Concannon's story. He relocates his family from Boston to rural Oregon and discovers that the move forces a deeper reckoning about identity, purpose and family life.
Stripped of professional validation and surrounded by quiet, he learns practical skills, leans on a new community, and finds value in presence and humility rather than constant productivity.
This episode explores how slowing down can reveal hidden parts of ourselves and transform relationships, parenting, and the sense of belonging.
