Quarter Life Crisis? The Weight of Finding Purpose, Social Media Comparison, & Practicing the Sabbath

Quarter Life Crisis? The Weight of Finding Purpose, Social Media Comparison, & Practicing the Sabbath

Join us for a little therapy session in today's episode, while May gives space for Kara Beth to give a glimpse into some recent thoughts and pressures of finding her purpose (or not finding it), discovering the truth about Sabbath, and little ways she's cleared some mental space for the things that matter. She refers back to a more chaotic season of her life and how the mundane isn't all so bad. May touches on some of her daily practices on clearing her brain before bed, her thoughts on finding identity in anything other than our relationship and partnership with God. We hope this encourages you to ask yourself some important questions in moving forward with the purpose God has for you! We love you and thank you for listening. Until our next episode, Handle With Care xx

How We Met + Playing We're Not Really Strangers

We know it doesn't make too much sense for our second ever episode to be a "Bonus Episode"... but it's a bonus for us! We were so eager to record another one that we just couldn't wait, and we figured it might be helpful for you to get to know us like... 10% better. So, we sat down, introduced how we met, and played a quick round of 'We're Not Really Strangers'. We love you all already, & thank you for supporting us. Listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!

Are We Breaking Up with Social Media?

For their first episode, Kara Beth and May talk all about social media. They speak on their own experiences breaking up with social media, how it had become an unhealthy relationship and how they plan to move forward with better boundaries. They touch on creating versus consuming, the exhaustion of micro-trends, being present, comparison, and the way it affects their own mental health!
