Summary

The countdown clock is ticking and it is so good to be with you to wave goodbye to 2021 – together! This was another monumental year. One that was as complex as it was challenging, but it definitely had us searching for connection at every turn. That’s exactly why Paula put her news hat back on – to connect the big dots of the year with her top 21 stories of ‘21. Last week was all about the seven PEOPLE who kept us talking. This week Paula and her favorite co-host (and co-parent and very co-operative husband), John, are taking you to the seven PLACES that caught our attention. Buckle up because we’re going here, there, and everywhere. From the ongoing fight on the homefront over paid leave to chaos on the front steps of our nation’s capital over voter distrust... From the cooling of America’s longest war to the heated conversations inside school board meetings and courtrooms across the country... From the Billionaire Space Race to the race to stop climate change... Paula and John break down what went down in the most talked-about places of 2021 and take a look at what lies ahead for our families, communities, country, and world. As mentioned in this episode, here are just a few of the organizations providing vital support in Afghanistan, along with links to learn more about how you can use your voice and donate on behalf of children and families at risk: World Vision The International Rescue Committee UNICEF
