Description

How do you reach someone who’s been let down so many times that hope feels far away?

This conversation turns toward the heart of presence, listening as Rosemary Ellis shares her journey through childhood trauma, addiction, and the long road to healing. Around shared stories and gentle questions, we hear how care often looks like persistence—a neighbour who brings a sandwich, a bus that offers warmth on cold nights, or a friend who makes space for honesty. There’s no tidy solution, just the steady impact of showing up in messy, uncertain places and believing for change when it feels impossible. The table is open, and this is a story for anyone who wonders if simply being there might matter more than we think.
