\u201cWe can\u2019t win when we go it alone.\u201d -Jessica Honegger

In this week's podcast, I share more of my struggle with friendships. I talk about the truths that have set me free to develop deep relationships and some of my best tips for finding good friends. If you've struggled to develop deep relationships or you know someone who struggles with finding and keeping friends, I hope this episode encourages you.

In this episode, Jesse and I also share what\u2019s saving our lives this week and we are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Jesse just got back from an awesome fishing trip in Louisiana, and due to weather, there were a lot of flight delays. He was so thankful that we invested in TSA Pre-check. And I\u2019m just in love with my leopard print flats. They can be dressed up or dressed down, and they\u2019ve added a fun pop to my wardrobe.

Also, we talk about a book I listened to that Jesse talked about on a previous episode... and let's just say that I had some pretty strong opinions to share about it. :)
