Hi, everyone, and welcome back to the Talk Tracks. In today's episode of the Talk Tracks, we're taking a deeper look into signs from the other side. What are they? Can anyone ask for them? Do they even exist? And making meaning and purpose out of grief with Karla Kaufman Sloan.

[instrumental music plays] Hi, everyone. I'm Kai Dickens, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to the Talk Tracks.

We'll feature conversations with groundbreaking researchers, thinkers, non-speakers, and experiencers who illuminate the extraordinary connections that may defy explanation today, but won't for long. [instrumental music plays] Sometimes I think about how different learning can look when we actually follow a child's curiosity, and that's why I've been exploring Time4Learning. It's an all-in-one online curriculum for pre-K through 12th grade, which means everything is in one place, core subjects, electives, even really engaging story-driven lessons for older kids that feel more like watching something cinematic than sitting through a lecture. My favorite thing is the flexibility. You're not locked into a rigid schedule. You can structure your day around real life, whether that's travel, creative projects. It takes a lot of pressure off. They have tools for tracking progress, transcripts, even diplomas, so you're still meeting requirements without feeling overwhelmed.
