    The Finale?

    Is this the end of the season? Is this the end of the podcast? Is it the end of the podcast as we know it? Friends, your guess is as good as mine. I know it's been two months since you've heard from me, and I can't say when you'll hear from me on this pod again. What I can say is that I've learned a lot with you, and I can only hope that you've learned a lot from the time that you've invested in me. Such humble and deep felt thanks to each and everyone of you who have listened. This train is headed into the train yard. But that doesn't mean the ride has to be over. A new train is pulling out of the station soon. Come along for the ride!

    You like/love your friends. They may not like/love each other. Everyone being in the same space can have different implications. It can be great and the team expands. It can be awful and the night can be ruined. In this episode, passion talks about the pros and cons of bringing your friends together.

    Friends with...YOURSELF!!!!

    How'd Beyoncé say it? "Me, myself and I: that's all I got in the end. That's what I found out. And it ain't no need to cry; I took a vow that from now on Ima be my own best friend." Are you a friend to yourself? Have you ever thought about it? Passion says she's been a great friend to everyone but herself. In today's episode she and her special guest, Dena Bilbrew, Life Coach and Career Coach, talk about why it's important to be your own friend, where that starts, and how to do it.

    K(NO)W New Friends

    Which one are you? Why? In today's episode, passion sits and talks with the infamous Barry (IG: @barryantoine) that she and Cory speak of so frequently. They discuss their positions on making space for new friends or closing the circle and only allowing people to be as high up as "associate" in the friendship hierarchy if they haven't been around before the last ten years. Let's make Barry feel welcome, Friends! Also: no vocabulary today!

    Social MEdia

    passion may have taken this episode kinda personal, Friends. She talked about friends and social media and she got super specific. Are you really keeping up with your friends and what they're going through or what they have going on if your only contact is through social media? Are you on the other side of that coin? Are you the friend who feels slighted by the person trying who has time to be on social media 16 hours a day, but can't respond to a text with a simple yes or no? No matter your stance on this issue, you'll find yourself in this episode. Tune in and let us know your thoughts!This week's vocabulary: persona non grata: an unacceptable or unwelcome person feign: pretend to be affected by (a feeling, state, or injury) indubitably: an adverb that means "impossible to doubt" agape: wide open, especially with surprise or wonder lauded: highly praised or admired befitting: appropriate to the occasion behest: an earnest or strongly worded request
