Alicia Gleed: The Power of Community: Why We Can’t Thrive Alone
We’ve all heard the phrase, “No man is an island.” For a long time, I brushed it off without much thought. But lately, it’s been resonating with me more than ever. We need people, we need community, to truly thrive.

I recently had a beautiful baby boy and took 12 weeks of maternity leave to begin adjusting to this radical life shift. I’m grateful to have had any paid time off (still a rarity in the U.S.), though in many comparable countries, at least six months of paid leave is considered standard.
