Welcome to Heart, Mind & Purpose, the podcast that explores the layers of our relationships, our growth, and the words that shape both. In today’s episode, Dawn unpacks a curious cultural shift: the disappearance of the word acquaintance. From handwritten letters to social media “friends,” from sitcoms to TikTok “besties,” she traces how language and culture have blurred the lines of connection. You’ll hear how COVID accelerated this change, and why reclaiming the clarity of acquaintanceship and friendship matters for the way we live today.

In today’s episode, Dawn continues with part two of a conversation that’s often oversimplified—or even politicized: the differences between male and female brains.

From hormones to emotions, problem-solving to connection, we’ll explore what science reveals and why these differences matter in how we think, feel, and relate.

This isn’t about stereotypes or competition—it’s about understanding the beautiful, intentional design behind our brains and how those differences can actually deepen our relationships.

So settle in, and let’s dive into His Brain / Her Brain, Part Two.
