Summary
Nineteen years ago, a group of women came together at Christopher Newport University and built something truly special. I got to sit down with my very dear friend, Leslie Hepburn, to reflect on the journey of our acapella group, the Newport Pearls, who still gets together for annual retreats 19 years later. This episode is a celebration of the community that forms when friends choose each other, again and again, on purpose—and plenty of insight to create something similar in your own life.
