Things We Talk About:

Questions to reflect on:

Are you experiencing loneliness? What is something you could do to address that?
Do others think you have it all together? In what ways could you be more vulnerable and honest about your struggles?
Do you feel trapped by the life you are called to? How so?
How are the boundaries that have been placed in your life comforting to you?
What is a decision that you can make once and not have to make again?
