In this episode of Our Friendly World with Fawn and Matt, Fawn shares a powerful technique she learned from a casting director that transforms not just auditions, but everyday life—setting intentions with loving energy. Whether you're preparing for a Zoom meeting, a job interview, or simply heading out into the world, the emotional vibration you carry deeply affects how others perceive and respond to you.

Fawn and Matt explore how consciously choosing emotions like safety, joy, support, and abundance can shift outcomes in everything from parenting to workplace dynamics. They dive into real-life examples—from voiceover work and singing lessons to parenting and problem-solving at work—demonstrating how unseen forces and energy truly shape our interactions.

This episode is a gentle, practical reminder that your energy precedes your words—and that what you put out into the world can come back in beautiful, unexpected ways.

“It's No Walk in the Park: The Cost of Togetherness in a Capitalist Culture”

From Loitering to Loneliness: How We Lost Public Togetherness - We explore why it's so hard to just “be” together in public without spending money. Fawn shares a powerful childhood memory about being othered for gathering in a park, sparking a bigger conversation about how American culture often discourages community connection unless it's tied to consumerism. From the stigma of loitering to the high cost of simple outings, we ask: Why is togetherness treated like a threat, and is there a system in place that keeps us isolated? Join us as we unpack the quiet obstacles to friendship, belonging, and free communal joy.

In this candid and deeply personal episode of Our Friendly World with Fawn and Matt, we explore the emotional weight of guilt and the complex ties of obligation in relationships—especially those we maintain out of duty rather than genuine connection. Fawn shares her journey of breaking away from toxic dynamics, the haunting echoes of guilt that follow, and the eventual freedom that comes with setting healthy boundaries. Matt introduces the concept of the “empty jacket,” a form of emotional self-protection. Together, they discuss how to uphold your code of conduct with compassion while choosing joy over guilt. If you've ever struggled with cutting ties or managing relationships that drain your spirit, this conversation will offer clarity, comfort, and actionable insight.
