Welcome back to the PauseCast, our first one of 2026.
Angie and I talk “we” – what is conjured up with the notion of us? Who are we in community and why does this matter so much? Martha Beck, in “The Joy Diet: 10 Daily Practices for a Happier Life” tells us that 1+1=3… that when you and me talk, we create a third entity, we become “we.”
This is a true meander folks, and I hope you’ll sit down with us with a cup of your favourite beverage and join us for the ride.
