About this listen

In this episode of Currently: The Conversation, Christal Frost talks with Abagail McKiernan about what help really looks like when it's rooted in connection, not systems.

The Conversation is brought to you by TVC Cherry Capital Airport — Your Northern Michigan Connection.

As the founder of HelpLink and creator of Spark in the Dark, Abagail shares why culture has to shift before systems can work, what people actually need when they ask for help, and how small changes can make support more human and accessible. The conversation also touches on her public speaking work and her upcoming book on leadership, care, and showing up for one another.

Hopeful, practical, and deeply human—this episode is a reminder that help starts with presence.

The Conversation is a Compass Local podcast produced by Pancake Boy Productions.
