2020 was a year that shook the world with the onset of the pandemic. But before that would ever happen, Jenny and Tina's life had already been altered by grief, heartache and despair.
In this emotional episode, the girls sit to discuss the book Tina wrote as she processed the events of 2020. They share the details behind specific stories, the impact these stories have had on readers, and how the writing itself changed Tina's perspective greatly.
Join as Jenny hears some details from Tina for the first time, and then shares reader experiences with Tina, that she has never heard before.
And no, they don't get through it without tears!

Part 1: "We are friends now. It wasn't a question!"

Join Jenny and Tina as they answer thought-provoking relationship questions and apply them to how they have reached the level of friendship they cherish today.
You are invited to journey with them as they pick apart key aspects such as trust, vulnerability, and life experiences that have shook their "old scripts" and developed "new truths".
Listen in as they hear each other's answers to the prepared questions for the first time, and genuinely react to what they learn from one another.
They've included the questions below, so you can also try these with a special person you have a significant relationship with too.

1. What is one word you would use to describe our relationship?
2. How and why does our relationship work?
3. Do you have expectations in our relationship? What are they?
4. What purpose does our relationship serve? What needs does it meet?
5. Was there a marker in our relationship? A turning point? (Questions 6-10 listed below but discussed in Part 2)
6. What are our biggest similarities/differences? Have they helped us or made things harder?
7. What has frustrated you the most about me?
8. Risk vs reward. What risks have you taken?
9. What are our roles within this relationship?

What has this relationship taught you?

Navigate Your Mission Like A Roomba
Food has an expiry date. Medication has an expiry date. Batteries, paint, car seats... lots of things have expiry dates!
Today we talk about something that has an expiry date, but it's one we often ignore -
Self-preservation, survival mode, safety mode.
We go into safety mode for protection. Fear often brings us to that place. And that's not a bad thing. What we can't have though, is fear keeping us in that place. It's where we ride out the storm, and rest if we can. But it's not a place to set up house and live.
Learn more today about staying safe, and then getting back to the mission of living.
