My interview with Anderson Cooper aired Friday night on @cnn @andersoncooper360 ! Here’s a clip from our conversation. It was such a full circle and lovely moment for this journey with @makebigtalk - Thanks to everyone who has supported me and this movement over the years!

5/26 Edited to

... Read moreHaving followed the Make Big Talk movement closely, I can say it truly transforms how we approach tough conversations. The interview with Anderson Cooper brought forward not just the story of the movement but also the deep personal experiences driving it. For me, the phrase "You feel less alone in the world" resonated profoundly because that’s exactly how sharing personal pain and challenges in open dialogue works. This movement highlights the importance of empathy, something often missing in today’s fast-paced communication. The OCR content mentioning experiences like losing loved ones and overcoming dark times reminds me of how vulnerable conversations can help heal and connect us. For instance, when the creator spoke about loss and grief, it helped me reflect on my own experiences with loss and the power of speaking out. The Make Big Talk initiative also emphasizes embracing difficult topics — ranging from mental health struggles to societal conflicts — which aligns with the modern need for authentic dialogue in media and communities. Seeing it featured on CNN with Anderson Cooper adds significant credibility and reach, encouraging more people to participate in meaningful conversations. From a user’s perspective, engaging with Make Big Talk content not only provides insights but also fosters a sense of community and support. It’s a reminder that sharing our stories, however painful, contributes to collective empathy and encourages others to open up. The response on social media and the movement’s growth illustrates how many are searching for spaces that normalize these big conversations, ultimately making us feel more connected and less isolated.
