Why Interdependence? "....the truth is independence is a myth. We all lean on someone, we all have a number we dial when life crashes in. We’re not built for isolation, we’re wired for interdependence. That’s the difference between falling and being caught. Before barely surviving and finally starting to thrive....We can build something better with the kind of support that doesn’t end when a kid turns 18.”

“No one makes it alone, that’s the myth we keep telling. The reality is what we all really need, what we've always needed, isn't independence, it’s interdependence, it’s community, it’s someone showing up and staying.”
