When Hilary Russo, a health and wellness journalist for over 25 years, receives a phone call from her father just hours before his unexpected death, she is compelled to use her superpowers of storytelling, amplification and connection to help those in need and ultimately find purpose and peace in her own life.
"We have no idea what tomorrow will bring, but the whole point of that episode was, which I called Pick Up the Phone, is to encourage you that you're never too busy. So I encourage you to make that effort to just not allow yourself to think you're too busy. Because the one thing that's never promised is time."
In this episode, we cover the power of leveraging our superpowers to help others, Hilary's heart-wrenching experience in the newsroom during 9/11, and the life-altering lesson she learned from a simple phone call that she still practices today.
