Summary

You know those people that are so full of life and easy to be around that you just feel lighter after spending time with them? That’s my neighbor Tina. And dang it, I miss her! We talk a lot in this episode about what it has done to our friendship to be on opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to sheltering in place. You’re going to love her and her stories about the foot she was going to use for Christmas and the finger she lost in menopause.

You can find Tina @themightydandelion on Instagram. The story behind this name and Tina’s bloom where you are planted theory is this: The dandelion has grit, grows with just a little piece of dirt, rain, and a bit of sunshine. The mighty dandelion can bloom just about anywhere! Then, just when you think its life is finished; the seeds fly all over the world and begin again. Just like us. We are dandelions too. And we are MIGHTY.

WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT:

what our friendship looks like with different perspectives on COVID
the gifts Tina is finding during her shelter-in-place time
what she wants to bring into her life when she heads back to work
being true to your own convictions without judging others
how going through instapause and having a broken foot shifted Tina’s identity
what helped Tina get her hormones balanced after menopause
her conscious, daily decision to grow where she is planted
how Tina maintains her joy and love for life regardless of circumstances
the different type of grief she’s experiencing after the loss of her father
