In this solo episode, host Anne Muhlethaler was inspired by the fact that Geneva, her hometown where she currently resides, felt like the centre of the world as the city hosted Presidents Biden and Putin for the US/Russia summit, essentially happening a stone's throw away from her home.

The conversations picked up in the press prompted her to explore relationships as systems, how feedback offers about the person giving it, as well as our interconnectedness and what life can look like, when we embrace the other as one of us and shift from telling the I story to the story of WE. She closes on this quote from Sylvia Boorstein

“Ultimately it’s not the stories that determine our choices, but the stories we continue to choose.”
