Summary

As longtime listeners of Beautiful/Anonymous know, one of the most beloved members of our community is Heidi, AKA: “Love Is Everywhere”. This call is a little different from our usual follow-ups. In this case, Heidi has a specific story she wants to share, and it just didn’t feel right to hide it behind the paywall. So here’s the deal: all of our listeners have access to this difficult–but so important to share–story from Heidi’s past. It's a tough conversation, but, as Heidi so rightly points out in the call, "the more these kinds of stories are shared . . . that will make it so there are less stories like this to be shared."

For our Touch Tone listeners, you’ll still get our standard follow-up, where Heidi takes a turn at our 5 Random Questions generator.

You can also read Heidi’s story on her Substack.

Hi everybody it's Chris Gethard and welcome to Beautiful Anonymous. It's a very

0:08.0

special episode. You might know that we now have Beautiful anonymous plus which has a lot of

0:15.0

extra stuff behind a paywall and one of the things we do is that one of the

0:20.0

tears gets you access to follow-up calls with past callers. Now, we recorded with one of the most

0:26.2

beloved callers in the history of the show, someone who I've become personally friends with

0:31.3

over the years. We had a very, very intense phone call.

0:34.5

I've often pointed to it as the call where I go at the end of the day.

0:39.1

There have been so many meaningful calls, but if you put my feet to the fire and said which is the call that

0:47.3

This show came into existence for it would be for the episode called Love is Everywhere

0:53.0

Really really intense, hard, beautiful call.

And over the years, we have talked more with the caller from that episode.

1:02.0

She was a big presence at the

1:03.8

beautiful anonymous convention and today we're going to bring you some of her

1:09.2

call. A big part of this is because she has a story from her past that she felt very compelled to tell and

1:16.2

this platform is one that has always supported her and she's been such a big part of the

1:20.5

show that my philosophy is that anytime you want this

1:24.9

platform you have more than earns the right to make that happen. That being said

1:32.0

you know a smart businessman would go, you got to go behind the

1:35.8

paywall to get it, but I don't care about being a smart businessman. This is a community.

1:41.2

This is a person who has meant so much to the community, this is a

1:43.4

person who has a story that needs to go farther and wider than a paywall can allow

1:48.1

for, so I'm going to, we'll not worry about doing the financially smart thing, which is to say, hey, remember how one of our most popular callers ever is back?
