Love Letters and Healing: Hannah Brencher's Journey on TWLOHA Podcast

And so for some people, especially people that I speak to and I work with on a Daily basis, or readers that I inspire, like they've never received a letter, like they don't even know what that's like to get a letter that's addressed to them, that has somebody's handwriting on it.”
What if a simple letter could change a life? In this heartfelt episode of 'To Write Love on Her Arms', Lindsay Kolsch sits down with Hannah Brencher, a writer and TED speaker known for her unique approach to battling loneliness and depression. After moving to New York City and feeling isolated, Hannah began writing love letters to strangers, a gesture that blossomed into a powerful movement of connection and hope.
