In this first episode of re[connect], Deedra and Megan reflect on their 14-year friendship, their evolving identities, and the shifts that led them to launch this new space for conversation. They discuss the expectations they carried in their early years—Deedra as the perfectionistic Enneagram One striving to hold it all together, and Megan as the introspective Enneagram Four wrestling with identity and belonging.

They explore:

• How childhood messages and life experiences shape the stories we tell ourselves
• The moment they realized they didn’t have it all figured out
• The impact of midlife transformation (aka the invitation to reassess everything)
• Unpacking belief systems, church hurt, and the freedom of curiosity
• Why embracing imperfection and staying in process is the real goal

With humor, vulnerability, and a few pop culture references (yes, My Little Pony and Spider-Man both make appearances), Deedra and Megan set the stage for a season of reconnecting to self.
