What if the person you fear, avoid, or misunderstand is the person whose story could change you?

In this episode, Stellar Award–nominated singer, speaker, and storyteller Doreen Vail explores what happens when we cross the lines that separate us and discover connection in unexpected places.

Doreen shares why most of us enter rooms guarded, why authenticity is rare, and what allows someone to finally exhale and be fully themselves. She names the shift that happens when we stop meeting each other as “the other” and start seeing each other as human.

You’ll hear her reflect on:
 • How authenticity changes the atmosphere
 • Why belonging is a universal need
 • What heals us when we show up honestly
 • How curiosity dismantles fear

This conversation is warm, honest, and deeply human.
 It will challenge you to ask:

Who have I labeled as “the other,” and what small step could I take toward them today?

Listen in. Let your heart stretch.
