Its our first ALR of the year and we're talking about love! Its finally February (did January feel extra long to you too?) and we're still trying to hold onto some semblance of normalcy over here. This week, we're asking what role friendship plays in a relationship. Can you hold on to your friends when you're in love? Should you vent to friends about your partner? Do all your hangouts have to be with couples when you're part of one? Should your partner be your bestie? How do your single besties feel when you leave single life behind? Join us for a light-hearted conversation about love and join the conversation in the comments of our socials.

You can't avoid hearing about it these days and that is a good thing. We all need to understand what Project 2025 is about and what it could mean for our lives in the very near future. It is still important that we read, research and truly get our arms around this manifesto for leadership. In this week's episode Myzie and Chan provide a brief primer on the document and hope it will serve as a catalyst for you to continue reading and researching on your own.
