This week on 19 Stories, I take a bit of a spin on my traditional interview format by welcoming five women from across the U.S. and one in the UK to lend their voices of what it's like to hold onto hope during these challenging times:

Bobbi Franklin host Petty Daydreams 

Rahseeda host of Real & Random

Joanna Rawbone host of Flourishing Introvert Talks

Yvette Walker host of Positively Joy

Andrea Johnson host of Intentional Optimists
