What’s up, Worcester? Meet your new favorite show: A Minute with Meagan—where we keep it real, ask the deep questions, and spotlight the people who are making moves in our community.

In this first-ever episode, host Meagan Matthy sits down with Susan Tripi, founder of The Sparrow Collective, a nonprofit turning the old Memorial School in Leicester into Massachusetts’ first supportive living space for women and children recovering from divorce.

This isn’t a shelter. It’s not a quick fix. It’s a beautiful, intentional home where healing begins, dignity is protected, and new stories are written.

✅ Wrap-around support
✅ Nature-inspired design
✅ Real community impact

Susan shares her powerful vision, and Meagan brings her signature warmth and curiosity to every question. Trust us—you’ll feel this one.
