OG Therapy #162 – Heidi Swapp: Building Stronger Families & Communities

In this episode of OG Therapy, we sit down with Heidi Swapp

to catch up and dive deep into the importance of open communication. We explore why talking—especially through the hard stuff—strengthens families, friendships, and communities.

Drawing on insights from Charlie Kirk’s perspective, we highlight how conversations prevent division: when parents stop talking, families fracture; when neighbors stop talking, communities weaken. Together, we discuss why keeping the dialogue open, even when it’s uncomfortable, is essential for building connection and resilience.

We also touch on the pillars of social health—your relationship with yourself, with others, and with mentors or adults—and how mastering these skills can shift the entire trajectory of life. From navigating Alzheimer’s fears to addressing suicidal thoughts in teens, this episode is about finding common ground, sticking together, and remembering: we all need one another to thrive.
