All the Things

We recorded this like a month ago, but you finally get to hear our thoughts about working in the service industry! We think jobs like ours, getting to know people while making them coffee, are super important - and fun. In this episode, we talk about what we’ve learned from our time in the service industry. Cheers!

This week we began a conversation about self-care. We talked self-knowledge. We attempted to take down “treat yo’self culture.” Because in order to take care of yourself, you gotta know yourself! If this episode leaves you with questions about the Enneagram, ask Alexa. If it leaves you with questions of how to treat yo’self, ask Emma.
