Episode 74 includes Part 2 of our very first in-person podcast special. After years of collaborating across continents, Chris and Emma finally sat down together face-to-face in Madison, Wisconsin. In this spontaneous, laughter-filled continuation, we’re joined by Bee Mayhew and Pam Ryan for a warm and off-the-cuff conversation about friendship, imagination, healing, and what it really means to be ourselves.

In this episode:

* The power of community and co-regulation for people who’ve long felt “too much”

* What happens when deep thinkers stop masking and start mirroring each other

* A kitchen full of neurodivergent magic and mirroring

* Finding safety, resonance, and spiritual alignment in community

* From shared values to shaping new realities—how our friendships have become frameworks

We reflect on how much we’ve grown, how much we’ve healed, and how profoundly we’ve changed by allowing ourselves to show up as our true selves, together.
