Hey, there! I started this week’s episode with my tea talk (cinnamon-apple-chamomile tea) and a life update about reading, having a slow week, and taking the SATs. I introduce this week’s discussion by defining support systems, stating why I’m recording this episode now, clarifying a disclaimer, and laying out the structure for the discussion. Then, I break up the importance of support systems into speaking and being social creatures. Next, I break down my support system. Afterward, I explain how to keep your power in your support systems: preserving your opinion and questioning who you’re letting in. Lastly, I wrap up with some key takeaways and my favourites in food, series, and books.

At the end of the day, YOU make the call” 38:00 = “Your support system should make you feel good but also be able to say what must be said” 41:00 = “A support system won’t solve all your problems” 41:05 = “You can’t delegate that decision-making kind of responsibility” Thanks for tuning in, have a beautiful week!
