Back to Business… But Not Back to Normal: Summer Reflections & What Comes Next
from The P-I-G: Stories of Life, Love, Loss & Legacy · host Kellie Straub & Erin Thomas
Eight weeks ago, we stepped away from the microphones with an invitation: go live a little more. Make room for wonder. Rest. Friendship. Courage. Adventure. Legacy.Now we're back—and maybe not quite the same.In this candid conversation between sisters, we look back at what P-I-G Summer Camp taught us, beginning with the childhood summer camp experience that helped shape who we became. From years spent at Camp Alleghany to two very different summers as adults, we explore why stepping away doesn't have to mean leaving your life behind—and why sometimes creating even a little space can help us return more awake to the life we're already living.We talk about:The lasting impact Camp Alleghany had on our childhoods, relationships, independence, and understanding of communityWhat wonder, rest, friendship, courage, adventure, and legacy looked like for each of us this summerWhy rest and restoration don't require a month-long vacationThe importance of protecting the life we're working so hard to buildThe devastating fires, floods, and personal losses that unfolded around us while we were awayWhat those losses reminded us about grief, gratitude, hope, and living legacy nowSome of the extraordinary guest conversations coming nextWhy we're finally ready to bring our children behind the microphones—and begin unboxing more of our own storyBecause Summer Camp was never really about taking a break. It was about creating enough space to notice what matters—and deciding what we're ready to do with that awareness. And as we begin this next chapter of The P-I-G, we're ready for more.
