Join your hosts Katherine and Shelbi as we celebrate love and all of the relationships where it shows up in our lives - with friends, ourselves, in dating (in our case, maybe not so much!)

Navigating Friendship as We Get Older

• The importance of connecting, communicating, and diving in deep with friends to fortify yourself and your relationships as life progresses
• The reality that everyone is grieving something and we should give more space for that while holding loved ones accountable as we move into our thirties (referencing Dan Levy’s Good Grief on Netflix and related conversations on the podcasts Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso and We Can Do Hard Things)
• Understanding friends’ support systems and where you lie in that ecosystem

Embracing the Different Paths We All Find Ourselves On

• A part of leading with love is embracing curiosity and investing in differences
• Paths diverging can empower us to see what we stand and help others in turn by voicing our truths (referencing Chrissy Ford’s FWD; Joy newsletter interview, How Human Design Can Help You Live a More Authentic Life with Maike Gabriela)
• The importance of establishing a commitment to each other no matter where life takes everyone to combat loneliness with connection (referencing Kate Bowler’s Everything Happens podcast with Vivek Murthy & Jon Scheyer: Made to Belong)

Diving Into Dating (Sort of?)

• The desire for friends to be as thrilled about what excites you as the prospect of being taken off the market by a man who is a stranger
• Considering the role of neutrality in how we respond, and balancing reading the room and reading between the lines in order to meet people where they are at

Celebrating Self Love

• Leaning into your dreams, setting boundaries, granting yourself grace, being patient with yourself, and believing in yourself as forms of self love

We'd love to hear your thoughts. You can email us at [email protected]. We'd also love if you'd rate, review and subscribe to the show!
