In this episode, Steve Thompson explores something simple yet profoundly powerful — the hug.
Why do some people tense up while others lean in? What does a hug really say about our willingness to love, forgive, and connect?
Through personal reflection and real-life stories, Steve challenges us to open our arms — literally and spiritually — to embrace others while we still can. A single hug can heal a wound, mend a relationship, and even leave a legacy that lives on long after we’re gone.
If you want to live a legacy of love, grace, and acceptance, it might just start with one small act — a hug. Visit: lighthouselegacies.com
