Snippets of Good Podcast

Today, I want to talk about something many of us deal with regularly: healthcare visits. More specifically, the people who work in healthcare—receptionists, nurses, doctors—the ones who can make or break our experience. I had a checkup this week that reminded me of this. Let's celebrate the good ones, the helpers among us who made a big difference in our lives. They're the folks who help us stay healthy and steady in a world that c...

It takes courage to receive help. Letting others support us is just as important as offering help ourselves. This episode is inspired by Brené Brown’s The Gifts of Imperfection.

Today, I'll invite you to embrace vulnerability, deepen connec...

You can send me your story or reach out to me at tricia@trici...

It’s easy to say, ‘I’d help if I could.’ But sometimes, the chance to help is right in front of us — small, simple, and possible.
