Common Thread

I am an artist and I created the podcast Common Thread in the spirit of: if I see something, say something. What I see is everyday people with solutions to social injustice, economic inequality, and climate change. The key is hidden in answers to four personal questions: What is most important to me? Why is it vital I respond? What have been the challenges when I put this purpose first? What wisdom do I have to share from my experiences? The podcasts are conversations with family, friends, and neighbors who will answer the questions. The sum of answers reveals a missing humanizing value system and unifying wisdom of the heart. Love has no objective other than to create wholeness, build trust, cultivate empathy, and see unity in diversity. These are a few examples of how different people express love. My guests will describe how they combine two, traditionally opposing bottom lines. One is physically surviving while the other is following the common thread of love with its unifying purpose. The practical and spiritual focuses are not exclusive of the other when both are needed to heal and stabilize a deeply divided world. Come join the conversation!

Common Thread

The Threshold of the Unknown

April 20, 2025 • Suzanne Hubbard • Season 3 • Episode 1

The first episode of season three of the podcast Common Thread introduces the topic of conversation for the season. I am curious about what we are responding to when it is an innate desire to follow the thread of what is most important to us on a human and heart level. Not only is this inner guided. The more you respond the more you know, without being told, all-is-one. This is not a benign concept. Knowing is responding in kind. The sum of everything considered unprecedented has brought us to the threshold of a great unknown. It is important to explore a source of inner guidance and discover our larger whole when or if all else fails.
