What I Know So Far! with Karen Mills & Trish Suhr

🌸 Spring is in the Air & Love Languages Are Getting a Makeover! 🌸

In this episode of What I Know So Far, Trish and Karen dive into the art of finding silver linings—even when life throws a curveball (or a rogue laundry disaster). They chat about why spring feels like a fresh start, how love languages are evolving in the digital age, and why acts of service might just be the new grand romantic gesture (spoiler: unloading the dishwasher = true love).

They also break down the modern meaning of quality time—is it deep conversation or just existing in the same room while scrolling TikTok? Plus, they explore the magic of physical touch, the underrated joy of a good morning routine, and how pets are out here stealing our hearts and redefining companionship.

And of course, they’re spilling the details on their upcoming comedy shows—because nothing brings people together like a solid belly laugh. 💛

Grab your coffee (or your cocktail—no judgment) and settle in for a fun, insightful convo that’ll have you nodding, laughing, and maybe even rethinking your love language! 🎙️✨

In this episode, Trish and Karen tackle one of life’s greatest challenges: saying no — especially when you were raised in the South where "yes ma’am" is practically a birthright.

From dodging social invites to navigating friendship boundaries without feeling like a monster, they swap stories about people-pleasing gone wrong, the art of graciously declining, and why sometimes self-care looks a lot like staying home in sweatpants with your dog.

They also recount a truly unforgettable night — complete with over-the-top home décor, unexpected hospitality, and a Golden Girls viewing party that took a hard left turn.

If you’ve ever RSVP’d “yes” when your soul was screaming “girl, stay home” — this one’s for you.

📍Saying no is hard — especially if you were raised to “be polite at all costs.”

📍Boundaries don’t push people away — they build better friendships (and less resentful hosts).

📍Asking for details before you commit is your new superpower.

📍A small circle of trusted friends > a big crowd every time.

📍It’s okay to choose peace (and pajamas) over plans.

📍Not every invitation is mandatory — even in the South.

📍Dogs make great company — and even better excuses to leave early.

📍Unexpected hospitality makes the best (and sometimes wildest) stories.

📍Humor helps everything — especially awkward exits.

📍The pandemic changed the way we socialize — and that’s okay.

📍It’s normal to feel overwhelmed — know when to step back.

📍Self-care starts with saying no when you need to.

📍Protecting your peace is essential — not selfish.

📍Being gracious doesn’t mean giving up your boundaries.

📍Sharing stories (especially the messy ones) is how we stay connected.

📍Dog ownership brings joy... and a few challenges.

📍Saying no prevents burnout — and a whole lot of resentment.
