This week, Melanie is joined by Cris Lopez for his second time on the podcast! This episode has a more casual approach to it as they talk all about relationships.

Cris is the kind of person who can get along with most anyone so he shares how he’s been feeding connections during these times and how relationships can help us with how we view our sense of self. If you missed his first episode about his life and growing up in Saudi Arabia, find it here.

This week Melanie is joined by Colleen Wetmore, the host of the Dare You To Move Podcast, for a discussion on what they’ve learned about their 20s. Colleen shares from the perspective of now being in her 30s, how she views her 20s and what experiences impacted her the most. Melanie is still midway through her 20s but offers up the experiences she’s been privy to so far.
The 20s are often associated with figuring out who you are and what you want and there’s no bounds to how those lessons take form. Melanie and Colleen chat about how spirituality affects their sense of identity in work, career, and personally. They also talk: societal conditioning around marriage and children, materialism, conscious choices, entrepreneurship, and expectations society imposes on the masses.
