Meant to Happen

Season 8 Episode 6 | 26m 14s

Life is full of moments that feel destined. Jack shares how a feminist book club and a poetry reading sparked an unlikely connection; Terrilynn recounts a love story, showing that serendipity knows no age; and Zach dives into his misadventure with "wallet guy," exploring how we often dream of futures. Three storytellers, three interpretations of MEANT TO HAPPEN, hosted by Theresa Okokon.
