Ben and Molly have a conversation around how we can grow in healthy and sustainable ways. Recognizing what's important and where to spend valuable time. We also reflect on how we have grown from when we first launched this podcast and was very much interested in the "hustle" and a "high achieving" life is almost opposite of where we are now. We hope you enjoy this episode!

Nothing like trying to pull yourself together then hitting record on a podcast episode... This podcast episode is a little different, Molly had an experience on a trip that she needed to talk through and gain some insight from Ben on how it was handled, what to say in the moment and also reflections afterwards. This conversation is unedited, off the cuff, talking through tears at times, holding it together at other times. We hope you enjoy a peek into a real conversation between friends.
