In today’s episode, we explore:
🎧 How we’ve gotten to know our actual neighbours
🎧 Our barriers to going deep in our real relationships (and they were different for all of us!)
🎧 Escaping the “catch-up trap,” and complaints about the price of eggs 🍳
🎧 What we are learning about intentionality in our friendships and the fine dance between oversharing, validation, and the ever elusive authenticity.
(Just a heads up that my baby decided that sleep was for the weak and wanted to chat along with us - hence the babbling and plinking in the background. Scheduling podcast times is hard with the three of us, and nine children between us, and I figure if you were at my house, we would have baby noise 🤷🏻♀️💛)
