<![CDATA[Connections and Conversations with Julie Lago & Friends]]>Conversations lead to connections... but connection is more than a conversation.

Join Conversations and Connections with Julie Lago and Friends as we explore the many ways people connect through stories, experiences, challenges, ideas, communities, and shared humanity. Together, we challenge assumptions, lean into curiosity, and engage in the conversations many people avoid, but have to happen for meaningful connection, growth, and change. Because real connection happens when we're willing to move beyond our comfort zone and get to the heart and truth of what matters.
