Love these real world conversations
I find myself looking forward to Mondays when I can listen to the new episode of Our Friendly World that came out on Sunday. I love that it feels like you’re sitting in a living room with Fawn and Matt, listening to them talk through real world events and trials. I especially love when an episode starts out with one of them saying, “So we were having this argument…” because it’s authentic, and you know the work through conversation will be deep and fulfilling. The episodes on ethics were so good, since it’s a conversation that we have in my house often as well, but not as thought out. I really appreciate these deep conversations about things that are sometimes hard to get into with others. So brave and thoughtful!
a lovely, lighthearted conversation
i love listening to fawn and matt because i feel like they’re in the room with me. their conversations are relaxed, but also very informative. their topics are relatable and they take info from their personal lives, metaphors but also outside knowledge.
Inspiring & Informative
I love the lightness of this show! I feel the serenity of Fawn come through and it puts my mind at ease. She and Matt interview amazing people who share about the deeper and more subtle (but powerful) aspects of life, too.
I highly recommend you subscribe and add Our Friendly World to your routine. 😃
