What a Gift Podcast

This week, Jule and Sarra are coming to you virtually for the first of three virtual episodes! Sarra checks in from a dorm room in Nebraska, Jule is in her element in Philadelphia, and together they celebrate two gifts that make this season so special: The U.S.A and Summer! First, Jule unwraps The U.S.A. and why it's worth rediscovering the beauty of our country. They especially reflect on the joy that so many World Cup viewers have shown while they've been visiting!  Then Sarra lean all the way into her gift, Summer. With slower evenings, hosting friends, baseball games, and finding simple ways to make ordinary days feel festive. They wrap things up with a White Elephant featuring viral product drops, flavored coffee creamer, sitting in the grass, Aperol Spritzes, vegan restaurants, watching soccer, and the surprisingly controversial debate over foaming hand soap. If you're in the patriotic and summertime spirit, this episode is for you!

About Podcast

Two friends unwrap ordinary life — the chaos, disappointments, spirals, fresh starts, and weird little joys — and practice receiving it as something that might actually be a gift.

We’re 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 — laughing (and sometimes complaining) our way through the little treats, let-downs, and weird in-between moments that make up life, slowly figuring out how to mean it when we say, “What a gift.”
