This summer I took a whole month off my work and stepped away from all screens. (Spoiler: it was fantastic!)

Friendships: in this chat Tsh and Katherine talk about why we need to take the time for them even when life is busy, plus little ways we can better cultivate them.

They also park a bit on the legacy of Rachel Held Evans, and how our collective mourning of our loss of her has shown us blatantly and beautifully how we really can know each other through the Internet.

Yep …Our relationships with food. Christine articulates what it means to feast, to embrace a season of coming around the table to share a meal and how that pairs really well when you also embrace more fasting in your life. This is especially great now that we’re in the season of Eastertide. Tsh shares her own personal guidelines with eating, which sounds stoic and hardcore, but it’s not. It embraces a philosophy of feasting as well, and it’s been a mental game changer for her. In the third segment,

2019/04/12

What's the difference between a scarcity and an abundant mindset? It really comes down to gratitude as the ultimate antidote, whether it's fear, overwhelm, jealousy, or good old-fashioned FOMO. What does it mean to be a hometown tourist? It’s also about mindset, discovering where you live with a spirit of curiosity. Tsh and Christine get into both these things, including a few practicals on how to incorporate both of these in your daily life. Then somewhat ironically, in the third segment Tsh chats
