Summary
This week, we’re tackling listener questions on solving double under problems, supporting a partner's fitness journey, and navigating challenges as a woman in a male-dominated workplace.
We then explore the concept of finding purpose later in life, discussing the meaning of life, the pursuit of happiness, and the importance of taking responsibility for our own fulfillment.
Finally, we share a snippet from a conversation about building stronger friendships, emphasizing the value of structured discussions and intentional investments in our relationships.
