I think we all know we're better together and that's what today's episode is all about! Jayna started a new challenge with her friends so we talk about that. Plus, we tackle the delicate topic of accountability in friendships. When and how and if you should bring something up. We dive into the Mennonite culture and how we tend to do community well, but it's not a foolproof system. Sometimes, things happen. Even tragic things.
