Summary
In today's episode, Mystie, Abby, and Brandy discuss the new retreat format and why we love it, what's different compared to last year, and also take a deep dive into this year's theme, habits, by discussing what Aristotle had to say about habit in Nichomachean Ethics. We hope you're ready to geek out about habits with us because that's what today is all about!
