Life As We Know It

Why do we do the things we do, what motivates us to keep going? We decided when we first started this podcast, the reason for doing it was for us to share our experiences so anyone listening would know they are not alone and that there are others going through the same experiences. How does your why help define who you are or is your why defined by who you are? Tania Doko, lead singer of Bachelor Girl, joins us in this episode and shares her experiences and her reasons for her whys. She talks about things she does to help keep her focused and sane...hahaha See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

The Circle of Friendship, it's like the circle of life only with friends. We talk about how there comes a time in your life where you outgrow certain friendships, and how your common interests change. The things that may have once brought you together could now be the things that drive you apart. Do you have that conversation with specific people to say the time has come to move on from your friendship or do you let that relationship die a natural death? Constant lockdowns has changed so many peoples lives in so many different ways and has brought out the good and bad in people. You may be seeing a side to someone that you didn't know existed and are feeling like it's made that friendship toxic. These are just some of the topics we talk about in this podcast, find out how we have evolved from certain friendships.

Lisa talks about how she did things arse about with the proposal happening after the wedding date was set and Toni talks about having to pay for her own engagement ring. Steph meanwhile is pondering how she thinks Nick may propose to her. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
