  • More Happier: An Unasked College Question, Unsought Advice & the Joy of Meeting in Person
    Nov 23 2024
    Inspired by a friend, we discuss the question of what we wanted to accomplish in college (a question we never asked ourselves at the time). We also explore some helpful advice for the Metropolitan Museum—which the Met is definitely not interested in receiving. Plus why face-to-face meetings still hold special value in the age of screens.

The anecdotes are my fav part

I really like the dynamic of sisters sharing their life - but that it’s not only about being a mom raising a family - they also share stories from their parents, visiting them…and the career / adulting stories - plus sprinkled in parenting hacks. I just like the concept of a happier life overall (not just momming or career etc). Plus hearing about their creative career journeys has been fun too. I guess what I’m t trying to say - the anecdotes are my favorite part! :)

My favorite podcast each week!

I am a huge fan of the little happiness bursts and general life advice I get from Gretchen and Elizabeth! I've been listening for several years on another platform and it's my go-to Wednesday morning listen. I can honestly say it has changed my life for the better, week-by-week. From annual goals (e.g "21 for 2021") and habit-forming to understanding the tendencies of people around me and little life hacks, this is an amazing resource!
