WEBVTT 00:00:02.499 --> 00:00:06.019 Hi, and welcome to Dragonfly Moments, Conversations 00:00:06.019 --> 00:00:09.720 That Matter. I'm your host, Teri Hargrave. In 00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:12.560 a world that often feels overwhelming, we all 00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.220 need moments that remind us of hope, connection, 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.019 and what is possible. For some, those moments 00:00:18.019 --> 00:00:21.579 appear as a simple act of kindness, a meaningful 00:00:21.579 --> 00:00:25.059 conversation, a turning point, or an unexpected 00:00:25.059 --> 00:00:28.559 reminder that we are not alone. For me, one of 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:30.640 those moments came in the form of a dragonfly. 00:00:31.019 --> 00:00:34.820 A small but powerful reminder that even in seasons 00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:38.479 of loss and uncertainty, moments of beauty and 00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:42.679 connection and hope can still find us. Dragonfly 00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.939 Moments, Conversations That Matter explores the 00:00:45.939 --> 00:00:49.979 stories, experiences, and ideas that inspire 00:00:49.979 --> 00:00:53.619 resilience, growth, and meaningful change. Through 00:00:53.619 --> 00:00:56.619 honest conversations with experts, advocates, 00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.920 leaders, survivors, and everyday people, Each 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.479 episode uncovers the moments that shape our lives 00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.659 and the lessons that help us move forward. From 00:01:06.659 --> 00:01:09.540 relationships and mental health, to leadership, 00:01:09.859 --> 00:01:12.780 healing, community, justice, personal growth, 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:16.280 and the power of human connection. Every conversation 00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:20.379 is rooted in authenticity and the belief that 00:01:20.379 --> 00:01:22.579 even the smallest moments can create lasting 00:01:22.579 --> 00:01:26.659 impact. Join us as we discover hope in unexpected 00:01:26.659 --> 00:01:29.859 places, celebrate the strength of the human spirit, 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.280 and share conversations that remind us we are 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:37.420 seen, inspired, empowered, and never alone. Because 00:01:37.420 --> 00:01:40.400 sometimes the moments that change us appear when 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.239 we least expect them. I'm so glad you're here, 00:01:43.299 --> 00:01:46.040 but before we dive in, I want to share a quick 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.500 note. These conversations and perspectives reflect 00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:51.980 my own personal thoughts and experiences and 00:01:51.980 --> 00:01:55.340 opinions. They are offered to encourage meaningful 00:01:55.340 --> 00:01:58.260 dialogue and reflection, not as professional 00:01:58.260 --> 00:02:01.239 advice. I am not a licensed clinician, therapist, 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.659 counselor, or mental health professional. Nothing 00:02:04.659 --> 00:02:06.640 shared on this podcast should be interpreted 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.840 as medical, mental health, legal, or clinical 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.219 advice.
