Hey lifers!
Did you grow up in a house where you could openly chat about things like s3x?
We’re on opposite ends of the scale on this one!
Britt has reverse manifested and ended up with a pretty grim case of food poisoning.
We end up having a chat about how we each feel about manifesting and goal setting.
If you have kids, do you experience ‘mum guilt’? Laura has a work commitment that means she can’t make something that is important to Marlie Mae. We speak about the expectations on parents these days when they’re also trying to juggle work.
Fleurine Tideman recently wrote a substack titled 'Enough with the boundaries; losing my stepfather showed me the community we're sacrificed for our so called 'boundaries'.
She told the story of her step father who was battling terminal cancer when she noticed how much the neighbours and friends stepped up without even being asked to.
We spoke about our shift towards outsourcing everything so we don’t feel indebted to others and how we all seem to focus more on convenience.
We asked:
- Do you think our inclination to set boundaries has removed our sense of community?
- Does the idea of someone dropping over unannounced feel warm or anxiety inducing?
- Do you know your neighbours?
- Do you agree that in order to have a village, you have to be a villager?
