            Big Talk April Newsletter: Questions to Help you Be Brave

            I spent last week with GoFundMe in Western North Carolina, making Big Talk with people who lost their homes and, in some cases, their family members and pets in Hurricane Helene.
Hi friends,
Over the past few months, I’ve been inspired by the grace, resilience, and courage of the people I've made Big Talk with—individuals who have faced devastation, whether from the Los Angeles fires or the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina.
Inspired by their bravery, I've written some Big Talk questions for us to reflect on:
What is a moment you started over, and how did you navigate it?
When was the last time you did something that scared you?
Who inspires you to be brave, and why?
What would you do if you weren’t afraid of failure?
What’s something you did that you didn’t know you could do?
I hope these questions inspire you. Please forward them along to someone you wish to make Big Talk with!
I met with Jesse Craig, who, despite losing 11 family members in Hurricane Helene, continues to hold onto hope.

Melinda Williams lost all 6 of her dogs in the Hurricane as she clung onto a tree branch for survival.
