In this episode we chat about:

• • Does social media help or hurt friendships?
  • Who Sam would invite to her brunch if she could pick anyone (dead, alive, or fictional)
  • Where technology will take us in the next 5 years (including our hot takes on AI)
  • Our easy self care activities that we incorporate on the daily
  • And of course... her take on how she defines a stranger
