But just days after losing her father, she opened Laura Lynne Jackson’s Signs and saw a familiar name—Beitman’s—while sitting alone in Charlottesville, where she’d come to perform in Scalia/Ginsburg. She reached out, and what followed was a series of shared synchronicities that neither could ignore.In this heartfelt episode, Karli and Dr. Beitman reflect on the timing of her father's passing (February 27th), which happens to also be Beitman's birthday and the date of his own father's death.
