A Circle of Care and Community centers on the idea that care expands when it is shared. What begins as a single act of generosity can grow into a network of support, connection, and belonging. This conversation reflects on how communities come together, not out of obligation, but through a shared commitment to uplifting one another and creating spaces where all can thrive. Featuring Laurie Richter, Co-Founder and Vice President of 100 Who Care Alliance, this episode highlights the impact of collective giving and the beauty of individuals uniting around a common purpose. Laurie shares how simple, intentional gatherings can transform into powerful movements that directly support local communities and create meaningful, immediate change. Through this conversation, Martina invites listeners to see community as something we actively cultivate, a circle that widens with every act of care, every shared intention, and every moment we choose to come together. This episode is a reminder that when communities gather with purpose, they become a source of nourishment, resilience, and possibility for all.
