This week, Nailea and Justus sit down for a casual conversation about how ease came to life. From losing routines and confidence in your 20s to rebuilding from the mess, they share how friendship and a few long talks sparked something bigger. They open up about feeling lost in your 20s, answer audience questions, and reflect on building a space rooted in care, honesty, and curiosity. Think of it as a behind-the-scenes moment: two friends finding their way back to themselves, and choosing to grow together. Enjoy!
