We reminisce over the past weekend with framily before diving into this week’s theme, How to Juggle.

We mention the apps Slack, Asana and Basecamp as project management trackers we use. We talk about the Evo Planner and how our Four Tendencies personalities affect our ability to use planners in general.

We switch up Vertellis for a Vertellis for Couples Edition! Awwww!

Random learnings led us to talking about Hurricane Dorian relief! If you want to donate to the Bahamas for disaster relief, the Giving Voices Project is collecting funds ASAP. You can give a tax deductible donation by calling 386-986-7505.

Our theme for this week is Joy & Play. Joy is more sustaining than just doing things that make you happy, and sometimes involves hard work. Doing things that nourish your soul build upon each other and create contentment and joy. And sometimes that means you just need some playtime. But play can also be considered a perspective and an attitude shift.

Vertellis questions led us to talking our our Lectin-free diet for the past year. If you’re interested in learning more, check out The Plant Paradox, by Dr. Gundry.

Women empowerment, coaching with compassion and scavenger hunts are the focus for our random learnings for the week. A couples visioning session along with a business retreat visioning/alignment session made Patti have to figure out great questions to ask, and John has always been good at asking questions, so they offer some advice on asking questions as well as the formula of questions that were used from both sessions. And, as always, a rousing game of Vertellis.

We start with random learnings for the week, but found that no theme naturally arose this time. So, we thought we would practice on our storytelling skills by telling the story of how we first met! Awwwwwww.

Our fifth episode! We made some alterations to a couple segments based on feedback from friends. We still talk about our random learnings, this week about Neighborhood Watch and Leadership. We then discuss our theme of the week, our round of Vertellis (hopefully more enlightening), and then our new segment about what we’re personally looking forward to.

So it all started last weekend with two things wrong with the kitchen sink and ended with the door knob falling apart. But does it ever really end? Our theme this week is “Lessons in Home Ownership!” Plus, the usual segments of our Random Learnings from the Week, a future forward game of Vertellis, and where you can join us to learn and play in the next couple of weeks.

We referenced Mentimeter in the podcast which is a cool software to showcase active voting during presentations. And we talked about Digress, which is our most favorite wine shop in College Park. If you go, tell Brian and Rob we sent you! (Neither of these are advertisers. We just really like them.)

Some new learnings from the week brought us to the theme of Getting Involved! We chat about how we’ve been involved in local activities and I interview some gal pals who are in charge of a local leadership group I’m a part of.

I wrote a blog post about providing feedback the fall of last year.

And then I wrote a follow-up piece at the beginning of this year that helped me understand how to help others provide feedback and resolve conflict when you aren’t witness to how the other party is behaving.
