What does it actually look like to help another human being flourish? In this Friday conversation, Angela and Deanna move from the garden metaphor into the real work of relationships: paying attention, showing up consistently, staying curious, and learning the difference between receiving and taking. Along the way, they ask a tender and slightly uncomfortable question: where are we asking others to tend what we’ve neglected in ourselves?
