Happy 2025!! While not ready to return to regular scheduled programming, Ge and David pop in for a (not-so) brief chat on recent travels, 2025 goals, and an update on the podcast. Ge recaps a bucket list trip to the Sahara Desert, reflecting on the unique experiences and challenges of such an epic adventure. Meanwhile, David offers his perspective on the benefits and downsides of traveling during the off-season. Inspired by New Year's resolutions, Ge opens up about some of her goals and aspirations for 2025, while David explains why he prefers to keep his goals private and focus on quietly working towards them.

Ep 59: How To Support Those In Grief: A Personal Journey with Aaron Lu

When friends or family experience the loss of a loved one, we want to do everything we can to be there for them. But often it can be difficult to know the right thing to do or say. Our guest, Aaron Lu, experienced the tragic and sudden loss of his wife just days after celebrating Christmas together as a family of four for the first time. In our most personal conversation yet, Aaron shares his ongoing journey through grief and what he's learned along the way. We're thankful for Aaron's courage and vulnerability, and we hope our conversation shines a light on a universal experience that we don't talk enough about as a society.
