🎙️ Episode 261: Dear Cathrine & Tracy 💌

Anniversaries ✈️ Airplane Etiquette 😳 & Adult Friendships 🫶

Ever wish you had a couple wise (and slightly sarcastic) friends to answer your real-life questions?

Well… you do. 😄

In this episode, we pulled from YOUR submissions and tackled everything from dreamy anniversary trips to airplane drama to the age-old question…

👉 “Why is it so hard to make friends as an adult?!”

Let’s just say… we’ve got thoughts. 😉

✈️ 1. Where Should We Go for Our 40th Anniversary?!

First of all… FORTY YEARS?! 👏👏👏

We LOVE this question. Congrats to Gail and David

We talk about:

  • 💕 Destinations
  • 🔥 Florida 
  • 🧳 Missouri (Branson - Sights and Sounds Theatre)
  • 🗺️ Michigan
  • 👉 Bottom line: Don't go to Florida in August. Ha ha.

    😳 2. Airplane Etiquette: Ma’am… Stop Kicking My Seat

    You’re minding your business… sitting upright… being a model passenger…

    …and the person behind you turns your seat into a punching bag. 😑

    We discuss:

    • 🙃 How to handle this (without ending up on a viral video)
    • 😇 How to keep your testimony in tact
    • 😂 When you just might need to get your doctor involved with a little prescription
    • 👉 Pro tip: You can be kind AND direct. (Shocking, we know.)

      🫶 3. Why Is Making Friends as an Adult SO Hard?!

      This one hit home… and if you’ve ever thought:

      👉 “I have acquaintances… but I want real friendship”

      You are NOT alone.

      We talk about:

      • 👯‍♀️ Why friendships were easier in earlier seasons (hello, built-in proximity!)
      • 📅 Why schedules feel impossible once kids + life enter the chat
      • 💛 Moving from surface-level to soul-level friendship
      • 👉 Truth bomb:

        Deep friendship isn’t instant—it’s built over time, consistency, and showing up (even when it’s inconvenient).

        ✝️ Inspiration

        📖 Galatians 6:9

        “Let us not grow weary in doing good…”

        Even in friendships. Even in marriage. Even in awkward airplane moments. (no kicking) 😉

        🎯 Call to Action
