    EPISODE 3

    Time for Thinking

    How would you benefit from a week isolated from the world? Theoretically it is something that everybody dreams about, but in reality, it is a little harder to put into action. It’s a habit that some very successful people have acquired and is actually what Leslie and Leslyn start this week’s discussion with. Starting with a clip about Bill Gates, Leslie and Leslyn discuss the benefits of a think week. The discussion continues covering issues with neglecting self-care and the need for improvements in solitude. There are many benefits for taking time for yourself to improve and Leslie and Leslyn challenge you, the listener, to do some more self-reflection!

    The Making of Friendship

    How do you know when someone is a friend? What makes that friend a good friend? The topic of friendship is one that has been on Leslie and Leslyn’s list to cover as friendship is equally important for your mental health as it is for your physical health. Shasta Nelson, an expert on friendships and healthy relationships says, “Friendship intimacy is where two people both feel seen in a safe and satisfying way.” Today’s episode centers around what is essential to be a good friend and how you can find a consistent balance in those traits.

    EPISODE 8

    Social Media - Changing Humanity?

    s social media a means of connecting us, or is it really doing the exact opposite? This episode centers around a topic that Leslie and Leslyn have been itching to cover since their discussion on friendship, two episodes earlier. The topic of social media brings up the interesting examination of how we think of our friendships. Social Media can cause varying love/hate relationships among users. On one hand, it may be frustrating as a business owner to keep their posts in line with the platform’s algorithm or it could possibly be a great contribution to keeping in touch with your friends and family that may live across the country! Leslie and Leslyn speak on social media’s ability to drive connection, presenting your most authentic self, and the benefits of a no phone zone!
