Family used to mean the people you shared a roof and maybe some casseroles with. Now it can mean your group chat, your yoga class, or the random folks you met at a meditation retreat. In this episode, we dig into how ideas of family and community have evolved, and how spirituality has stirred the pot (sometimes literally at those potlucks). From bloodlines to chosen families to communities that exist mostly on Zoom, we ask: has spirituality been the glue, the spark, or just the excuse for all these shifts? Spoiler: probably all of the above.

"We all love validation, but do we ever stop to ask if it’s actually… good? In this episode we dig into how we slap the 'good' or 'bad' label on situations, circumstances, emotions, and experiences as if life were Yelp-review simple. Spoiler: it’s not. What if our definitions of 'good' are just outdated scripts we never bothered to question? Join us as we poke at our own need for approval, explore how our judgments shape our stories, and wonder if evolving our idea of 'the good' might actually make life less of a cosmic popularity contest."
