      <itunes:summary>We’re back with another episode in our Friendship Series — and today we’re getting real about something most of us have experienced (and maybe haven’t fully unpacked): how social media can seriously mess with our friendships. From getting randomly blocked to spiraling after not being tagged in a story, we’ve been there.

In this episode, we talk about the little ways Instagram and TikTok can make us feel left out, jealous, or just plain confused. We also dive into the difference between real-life connection and that highlight-reel pressure, and share how we’re learning to stay grounded in real friendship — not just online validation. If you’ve ever side-eyed a post and thought, “Wait, were they all hanging out without me?” — this one’s for you.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>In this episode, Sierra and Holly dive into the fun (and sometimes messy!) journey of creating a vision for your life, especially in your 20s. They chat about discovering your core values, setting non-negotiables, and how to stay true to yourself amidst all the ‘shoulds’ and pressures from social media. Together, they explore why it’s so tough to build a clear vision and share their tips for setting goals, taking risks, and using gratitude to keep you motivated along the way. They even get into the idea of ‘legacy’—what kind of impact you want to leave behind, and how that shapes your big dreams. This is your go-to guide for defining your path and making it your own, with plenty of laughs and real talk along the way!</itunes:summary>
