Freedom is, in fact, the new F word.

Here's the sich: Janelle gets a text from a friend who's separating from her husband. And in that text, Janelle's friend dares to ask the question: "How did I get so detached from myself?" So we've dedicated this episode to Homecoming----no football, no quarterback, no queen----just how we sometimes lose connection with ourselves.

In this episode, we'll explore

• The concept of "happy enough"

• The idea of tracking and why it sucks

• Strategies to reconnect with yourself

• How Google Calendar creates an addiction to knowing

• Why people-pleasing isn't a good recipe for Homecoming

• That time Janelle turned off her phone for three days

• Why off-duty nights are a good idea

Yes, that's a quote from Married with Children! No, we don't condone Ed's misogynistic behavior. But alone time is dramatically underrated (even for extroverts). You'll hear our own stories about how we never wanted it….until we got it….and now we love it. When you build a relationship with yourself, your relationship with others gets BETTER.

Some key points in this episode:

• Revisiting the HA model; how to add independence to a relationship structure

• How alone time can benefit extroverts

• Using alone time to tap into creative potential

• Discussing how the capacity to be alone is the capacity to love
