What a Gift is a podcast by two friends who are not, by nature, the kind of people who look at life’s chaos and chirp, “What a gift!” But maybe we should be. So we’re practicing — one conversation at a time. Join us as we talk (and laugh, and sometimes complain) about the little things, the big feelings, and the weird in-between moments that make up life… and maybe figure out how to mean it when we say: “What a gift.”

Sleep & Roommates

In this episode of What a Gift, we sit down to talk about the magical world of sleep and roommates, focusing on how we transition from drama and tea to what's God doing in me? 😂

(Side note, please comment or DM your ___ to ___ intro ideas as ours are getting worse and worse 🤢)

Whether you're like Jule—a light sleeper who needs the temperature exact and feels "scared and sad at night"—or just curious about how shared living spaces teach vital adult skills like communication and honesty, let’s cozy up together for some relatable stories, insights into nighttime rituals, and perspectives on how everyday challenges can somehow end up being gifts.

🎁 What’s Inside 🎁

• Sarra shares her love for being "horizontal" and her recent investment in lush, new bedding, including a burnt orange/brown gingham comforter. Meanwhile, Jule views rest as an "elusive gift" and a "mini death" that requires surrender and trust. Hear why Jule relied on Night Prayer to manage her college anxiety and why we both agree on brown noise supremacy over the aggressive white noise.

• We discuss why roommates are truly a school of life, teaching us vital adult skills. This includes learning communication, honesty, and knowing when to perform an act of service versus drawing necessary boundaries. Jule admits that due to her night owl tendencies getting out of hand, she knows living alone is not for her.

• We recount our harrowing "bonding eras"—from Jule becoming a "comrade in arms" with her former roommate during the "mouse gate" apocalypse in Philadelphia to Sarra surviving the covid lockdown by making late-night cookies and binging the Marvel movies and Grey's Anatomy.

• Stick around for our closing segment, White Elephant, where we decide whether to receive, return, or regift pop culture items like The Kardashians and public proposals.
