Can I Just Say? is a phrase that I often say and one which is deeply rooted in the essence of who I am. It is how I enter conversations, initiate connection, and invite people to share their stories. The idea being that this is a platform and community where guests and listeners have the freedom to say whatever is on your mind and in your heart. So, when somebody leads with, “Can I just say?”, my answer is an emphatic “YES.” As I embark on this next stage of my podcasting journey, guests will be going beyond what’s expected and diving into the more raw, vulnerable parts of their stories that don’t often get enough air time or perhaps they’ve never shared before. In keeping aligned with my personal values, I am focused on building a community of cycle-breakers who want to connect and grow together.

The Quest For Deeper Friendships with Jewel Hohman
In this episode of 'Can I Just Say,' I sit down with Jewel to explore the transformative power of vulnerability and breaking away from social perfectionism. We delve into how societal expectations and the loneliness epidemic affect our ability to forge meaningful connections. Jewel shares her personal journey of embracing vulnerability and setting healthy boundaries, which has allowed her to build deeper relationships. We discuss the science behind lasting friendships, the importance of open communication, and the balancing act between self-compassion and holding space for tough emotions. Through personal stories and practical insights, we encourage you to reflect on your own relationships and highlight the role of empathy and active effort in forming genuine, sustainable friendships.
