In this final episode of the Winter Orchids trilogy, we explore Hope as a collective and contagious force. Building on previous episodes about Faith and Grace, host Jodi Rose Gonzales examines how hope multiplies when shared—like one candle lighting another without diminishing its own flame.

Key Themes

• The difference between interior hope (personal resilience) and collective hope (what we build together)
• The neuroscience of emotional contagion and why hope spreads
• The architecture of hope in community: spaces, rituals, and stories
• Practical ways to become a 'keeper of the flame'

We’d love to hear your reflections or stories of transformation. Share your thoughts with us @JodiRose.Studio on IG or Facebook or tag us on social media using #TheiROSEPodcast.
