Episode Episode 20: The Struggles of Finding Community: It Takes a Village, But Everyone Don Japa

0:00 1:23:42

This episode is for everyone who’s felt the weight of growing up. For everyone who’s figuring out how to build community while life keeps pulling people apart. For those who miss how easy friendship used to be, before distance, time zones, and the quiet loneliness of adult life stepped in.

We debated the messy timeline topics: Should men want to know if their partner has had multiple abortions? Why don’t people check on men after childbirth?

But beyond the hot takes, we got real about community — how adult friendships need effort, discernment, and a little faith. We also talk about how japa culture has scattered tribes. We laughed, we reflected, and we reminded ourselves that intentional friendships are the real love language of adulthood.

Episode 20, Growing Pains of Adult Life, is our longest episode yet — 80 plus minutes of honesty, laughter, and a little therapy disguised as gist.

Episode 20, It Takes a Village, But Everyone Don Japa, is real, raw, and funny in equal measure.

And yes, we shamelessly pleaded for y’all to buy your IGGFY Live Show tickets (Dec 20th, Palmerston Theatre — link in bio).
