Summary

How fixed are we in our ways of being and doing things? We're always confronting change, but how much can we choose it?

Jade is a friend of the podcast, deep thinker, and author of the excellent novel, The Wangs vs. The World.

0:00.0	Welcome to Call Your Girlfriend, a podcast for long distance besties everywhere.
0:06.3	I'm Amina Tussaud and I'm Anne Friedman.
0:09.0	Hey Anne Friedman, what's up this week?
