Manage episode 511854875 series 3691731
In the very first episode of Mighty Forces, I sit down with two of my closest friends, Dr. Neda Frayha and Mollie Erickson. We talk about decades-long friendship, memory, anthropology, wellness, apricot jam, and what it really means to give a damn.
Topics:
- How friendship can sustain itself across decades and distance
- The quirks of memory — from motherhood brain to COVID brain
- Motivations, enneagrams, and why we all see the world through different lenses
- Bringing wellness to unexpected places: from nonprofits to hospitals
- The anthropology roots that still shape our work and purpose today
- Ritual, connection, and why beverages matter more than you think
- Parenting teens, protecting kids’ connection to self, and resisting “shoulds”
- Quiet vs. loud ways of giving a damn in the world
