Logic vs Emotion

We are Misfits, Other and Dark Girls. My friend Fawn and I discuss the lost art of making friends through compassionate conversations. Fawn Anderson is a documentary photographer and founder- along with her husband Matt- of Be Friendly World, a social movement for compassion, dialogue, and friendship. Listen in as we recall the first fears-turned-freedom of being “other” and “dark-skinned girls”. We chat about childhood crushes who inspired our ultimate career paths, and ways to uncover deeper connections, for less loneliness. Episode Takeaways: 1.

Hi.  I am Brooke Voris, CEO and Wedding Consultant at Brooke Voris Weddings (BVW).  I am also a WOM (Wife and Mom) with a crazy household and am here to give you a behind the scenes look at what really goes on in a Wedding Planners life. This show is about helping people find a balance and getting everything they want on their very special day. Fawn and Matt from the podcast "Our Friendly World with Fawn and Matt" talk about the loneliness epidemic and how we can all fight against it.  They share their very personal and hurtful experiences surrounding the true craziness that went on the months prior to their wedding and even more so on the actual wedding day.  They talk about how so many people made them feel alone instead of  helping them to enjoy their wedding process.  They kindly chose to share all of this because they don't want anyone else to have the same disappointment.  They live their life now making every small moment a "ceremony" and only surround themselves with a circle of love open to anyone that shares the same philosophy on kindness.

[00:00:21] Fawn: Why didn't you have to say that? [00:00:24] Matt: I can tell the vibe is [00:00:25] Fawn: different, so maybe we should go back to the kitchen. So we're on the couch right now, because for some reason I have been so beyond tired and before we went into the kitchen to record, I was just joking. I'm like, let's just do it right here on the couch. And then I walk away for a few seconds and then, viola! . The setup is on the couch.

Question: When did we become friends? KJ spends an afternoon of laughter and connection with The Andersons. Fawn Anderson is a photographer and Matt Anderson  is a software developer and together they pursue social, racial, and economic justice through their thought provoking conversational podcast exploring the Art of Friendship.  The movement and the podcast is called Our Friendly World with Fawn and MattIn the first of a two-part conversation, KJ and her friends muse aloud about the significant stories that arise out of otherwise commonplace items (fridge magnets, cooling racks); and they examine an essential Shifting Moment: When and how do we pursue friendship? Takeaways: Have curious, compassionate conversations, start now.  Stories and connecting conversations exist everywhere. When or why did we stop using imagination? Can we adapt and approach problem solving with a fresh perspective?Survival means the ability to  adapt and create currency. Currency is our fluency and relationship skills. How to build currency? One way: create a safe environment for authentic sharing. When do we make the shift from casual acquaintance to friendship? What is our style of initiation: Golden Retriever?  Gradual Gatekeeper?  What structures, architecture inform our abilities to create and maintain meaningful relationships?Please Rate and Review This Podcast if our stories have astonished you as well. https://ratethispodcast.com/astonishingstories  Episode Mentions: Website www.ourfriendlyworld.comPodcast: Our Friendly World with Fawn and Matt   Instagram: @befriendlyworldFawn's linkedinMatt's linkedinAd background music: KJ Nasrul Intro  & Outro music: Canada Lo Res by Pictures Of The Floating World Connect With KJ & Bliss Begins Within IG:  @MusingsOnOther @BlissBeginsWithin @AdopteeSociety Clubhouse: @kjnasrul Website: https://blissbeginswithin.com  FREE Guide- Connect To Calm  https://bit.ly/4StepsToCalmFacebook & TwitterWant to create and send beautiful emails?
