This week, Jess and Jessie get real about the magic of community and connection—because let’s be honest, life would be pretty dull without it. They both share the weird and wonderful ways they have built deep friendships despite living miles apart, and how opening up (even when it’s terrifying) has led to some of their most meaningful relationships. Jess and Jessie also geek out about how the internet, for all its chaos, has been a surprising lifeline in bringing kindred spirits together. Listen as Jess and Jessie remind us that if not for the relationships we cultivate, our lives would lack the richness and depth that come from genuine interactions.Chapters00:00 - Intro09:39 - The Journey to Lisbon: A Midlife Reckoning17:04 - Navigating Language Barriers and Cultural Adaptation28:31 - Navigating Parenthood and Connections49:33 - Awkward Encounters in the Kitchen01:01:33 - If Not for This Podcast: A Journey of ConnectionAbout JessJess is a storyteller and seeker of meaningful connections in Texas by way of Baton Rouge, LA.
