In this episode, the Alicia + Jen chat about the end-of-school-year whirlwind, the emotional weight of graduations and moving-up ceremonies, and why handwritten notes still mean so much in an increasingly AI-filled world. What starts as a casual conversation about school events, teacher appreciation, and family life turns into a bigger reflection on recognition, gratitude, and being present for the people who matter.
