Forget the inspirational posters –  we're building a supportive community where you can ditch the work mask, share the real you (even the slightly embarrassing parts), and find joy without having to explain why spreadsheets aren't as thrilling as brunch. Together, through honest conversations we'll peel back the layers, celebrate wins (big and small – because let's face it, surviving Monday is a win), and learn from each other's journeys. Hey, it takes a village (and a good therapist, but that's a different app).

    The one about Travel!

    This week's episode, Katherine and Rachel talk about travel in likely the most random way possible!  From vaccines for visiting far off places, to just "yey vaccines" to the bucket list places they want to visit and how they pack suitcases, we hope you enjoy!  (Some serendipity for this one, in talking about the Northern Lights, both Katherine and Rachel were able to see them from their houses the day we posted this episode to publish!!!).  Thanks for listening!

    We're a little late this week but bare with us!  Rachel and Katherine talk about the challenges of saying no and holding boundaries, how difficult it can be to have hard conversations with people you know well and people you don't. They share about their own 'work therapy' journey and how their friendship is better now having to have gone through difficult times. Send us a text
