249: Bring Back Actual Conversation (Bite Size Nugget)
Description
In this bite-sized nugget, I’m sharing a story from a party I went to with Lenore Skenazy (yep, the Free-Range Kids legend herself) that left me buzzing for days—and not because of the drinks. It was the conversations. Real, curious, ask-me-anything kind of conversations with people who weren’t checking boxes or looking for labels, but actually listening and sharing stories. And it hit me: we’ve lost that art. Between social media, polarization, and just being too damn busy, we don’t sit down and really talk anymore. So this is my little nudge to bring it back—ask questions, be curious, and remember that everyone you meet has a story worth hearing.
