We’re back! In this episode, Zoe (21) and Sarah (53) dive into the messy, rewarding, and often hilarious realities of navigating personal growth and romantic relationships. This intergenerational duo — and close pair of friends — share candid reflections on the vulnerability of getting to know someone new, and how to stop overanalyzing and start living in the present. They explore how embracing vulnerability creates deeper connections, why letting go of perfectionism matters, and the unexpected lessons that come from failure. 

Fresh off a weekend at Lollapalooza — full of laughs, iconic outfits, and a few viral TikToks — Zoe and Sarah open up about how to have fun without drinking, while still prioritizing their wellness routines. From staying energized through long days of dancing to their nightly ritual of a slice of healthy cake (yes, really), they’re all about balance. With their signature honesty and humor, they remind us that growth isn’t a straight line — and that sometimes, the detours are the most meaningful part of the journey.

In the final installment of our Stress Kit series, we dive into perhaps the most vital and often overlooked pillar of well-being: community. Join Grace, Jess, and Sarah as they unpack the deep impact our relationships and social circles have on our happiness, resilience, and overall mental health.

• Together, they explore:
• The reality of loneliness in a hyperconnected world
• What it means to truly belong — and how to find aligned, nourishing friendships
• Letting go of relationships that no longer serve us
• How our connections evolve and deepen with age
• Whether solitude is a state of being or just a state of mind
• The double-edged sword of technology and social media in building community

We also reflect on our tribal roots and how, even in today’s remote-working, digitally-driven culture, we are still wired to thrive in connection with others.

This heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation might just inspire you to text a friend, schedule a coffee date, or take a long walk with someone you love.
