Summary
Who are your close friends? What do you do to cultivate friendships in your life? Friendship as an adult can feel like we’re unicorn-hunting, clinging to some childhood ideal or tv show standard. But real life friendship requires risk and it can come and go in seasons. And it is so worth it.
We’re taking time this summer (as usual) to be mentored by an experienced mom and benefit from her wisdom. Bonus! My guest for these 6 weeks is both wise AND funny. Join me for conversations with wife, mom, author, and podcaster Cynthia Yanof. We’ll answer some listener questions, share our experiences, and laugh a lot.

| 1:05.0 | water burger. What do you keep in your cup? What's in your cup lady? If I was going to go to |
| 1:11.3 | water burger and buy you a two liter beverage with a straw, what would I put in it? And it is |
| 1:16.8 | huge. This cup is huge people. I am amazed that it's standing because it seems to defy gravity |
| 1:22.4 | how small the bottom of it is and how large the top. That's kind of like a metaphor for what |
