#205 - Get Offline and See Your Friends

from Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship · host Nina Badzin

I’m fresh off the "Dear Nina Live" event in Minneapolis to celebrate five years of the podcast. And after such a big week, I was ready to step away from my computer for a bit. So I said yes to mahjong (twice!), tennis, a walk, and time with friends. It was exactly the reset I was looking for, even though I'm WAY BEHIND on work now.This short episode is a reminder to get out from behind the texts, emails, memes, and endless to-do list and spend some time with your friends in person. Say yes when you can, or make the plan yourself, and remember that even a walk or a cup of coffee counts. It can be that simple--short and sweet. And to everyone who came to the event in Minnesota--THANK YOU! LINKS MENTIONED:Here's a 30-second reel of the live event in Minneapolis to celebrate 5 years of the podcast.My spot on Twin Cities Live! ALL THE DEAR NINA LINKS + CONTACT INFO!!

Fresh off the five-year Dear Nina live event in Minneapolis, I found myself ready to step away from my computer and say yes to time with friends. In this short episode, I’m sharing a simple reminder to get offline, make room for in-person connection, and remember that even a walk, a coffee, or a game of mahjong counts. The work will still be there when you get back. Special thank you, as always, to my assistant producer, Rebekah Jacobs!
