Jess and Sacha are back with episode 52 of the Are We Still Here podcast! It’s been a year and we’re very grateful to all of you for sticking around.

We believe that relatability is great when it comes to character, values and goals – but not so helpful when it comes to habits you think might need to be removed, but seem ok when you see someone else doing them. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this one, listen for the question and DM us your replies.
