A podcast to explore connection where we might not think it exists

You know when you walk into a movie theater or cafeteria or conference room where the seats are set up right next to each other and everyone has sat down such that they have one safe comfortable seat in between each person? You’re the tipping point. You have to sit next to someone. So close that you can see their nail polish, smell their shampoo, sense their stress level. You have to take the middle seat. Well, what if that’s the best spot. On Taking the Middle Seat, I’m sitting down next to someone in each episode in order to find connection where we might not think it exists. I’m your host, Andrea, and I think we’re all sitting one seat apart right now. What we need to do is move in. Listen to the person next to us. Ask them about their tattoo. Notice their shoes. Be open to the possibility that there’s magic in the middle seat.

I’ve always been a connector. I’m a youngest kid, peace maker. I’m an introverted people person. I’m a noticer. I notice people and places and find joy in following the connecting threads. So, I’m putting my little superpower to use and creating connection where others might not think it exists. I’m taking the middle seat.
