“How Would the World Transform If Millions Heard Your Message?”

I got asked that question, and it stopped me in my tracks. Because when I really sit with it and when I think big, beyond just one video or a few submissions, I have come to realize this project isn’t just about storytelling. It’s about truth-telling.

What would happen if millions heard the message that you’re not the only one who lost friends and never talked about it? You’re not weak for still feeling the effects of those years? And for what it's worth, that disconnection we all seemed to feel doesn’t mean you failed. It means you survived.

The world would shift. Shame would lift. Grief would stop hiding in the margins of our lives. Maybe people would stop asking, “Why can’t I just move on?” and start asking, “What do I need to feel whole again?”

If millions heard this message, maybe we’d stop pretending the pandemic is over just because the news cycle moved on. Maybe we’d give ourselves permission to reconnect. Not just socially, but spiritually and emotionally.

That’s why The Disconnection Project exists. To say what so many haven’t had words for. To hold space for the stories that didn’t make the headlines. And to remind us that healing happens when we stop hiding.

So yeah, if millions heard this message? It wouldn’t just change minds. It could change everything. Let's keep this thing going.
