If you hear noises in the background... no you don't...

In this episode of Semi-Mindful Banter, we're sharing the real-life lessons we've learned the tough way (and with a bit of humour). From arguing over small things and the endless chase for perfection, to addiction struggles and recognizing red flags in friendships, we're diving into the messy side of growth. We also get into the traps of people-pleasing, bad advice we've had to unlearn, and how these experiences have shaped who we are today.
