Beautiful Follow Ups: Love Is Everywhere (Bonus Episode)

As longtime listeners of Beautiful/Anonymous know, one of the most beloved members of our community is Heidi, AKA: "Love Is Everywhere". This call is a little different from our usual follow-ups. In this case, Heidi has a specific story she wants to share, and it just didn't feel right to hide it behind the paywall. So here's the deal: all of our listeners have access to this difficult–but so important to share–story from Heidi's past. It's a tough conversation, but, as Heidi so rightly points out in the call, "the more these kinds of stories are shared . . . that will make it so there are less stories like this to be shared."

For our Touch Tone listeners, you'll still get our standard follow-up, where Heidi takes a turn at our 5 Random Questions generator.

You can also read Heidi's story on her Substack.
