Megan is BACK!  We are so excited to welcome Megan B. Bartley back to the pod and help us dissect the inner workings of parenting and privacy.  We live in a digital age where most interactions happen at our fingertips and that is a heavy burden for an adolescent. How do you keep them safe?  How do you monitor without prying?  These are all touchy topics to approach a pre-teen.  Today, Megan walks us through the power of being a good listener, trusting your gut, and asking the right questions for your child.  She even touches on what privacy and secrecy mean at different ages and even for a marriage.  #mindblown Enjoy the show, zen friends!  Megan is also available at all of the links below.

When you're in your twenties you feel like you walk out of your door and trip over 5 people that want to your friend.  But, after committed relationships, careers, and possibly kids, how do you maintain friendships (or cultivate new ones) with all of that going on?  Well, help is here! Not expert help but educated assistance.  Here at CZL we feel that we have really honed in on the craft of friendship through trial and error and countless bottles of wine. Today, we discuss making friends during transitional times, when to let go of a friend, and key ways to find the right friends for where you are in your life.  Tons of tangible tips in this episode.  ENJOY!   

So much to discuss this week.  We jump right into it!

• After Lizzo's latest release, the trolls came out hard for her and it was personal. Lizzo takes to YouTube is an emotional video, that has now been deleted, to shred some light on what she deals with behind the scenes.  

We love having all of our new Zen Friends in our community.  Thank you again for all of your support.  Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to all of CZL so you're in the zen loop!  Enjoy the drop today.
