Season 2, Episode 1 — Support Systems: The Right People at the Right Time

What does it really mean to be supported — and how do we build the kind of community that shows up when it counts?

In this first-ever live episode of *Making Sense of Ourselves*, host Abby Covert is joined by members of The Sensemakers Club for an open discussion about support systems — the people we lean on (and the ones who surprise us), how friendships evolve in adulthood, and what it takes to feel truly held.

We talk about:

- The difference between friends, acquaintances, and “dirty dish” people

- What it means to "take the stairs" to friendship instead of the elevator

- Why some of us go deep with strangers but struggle to maintain connections

- The quiet power of being known by your community, even if it’s accidental

Then Abby is joined by co-host Alfi Oloo for a debrief exploring the biggest takeaways, lingering tensions, and personal reflections on building support that lasts
