Erica and Miranda explore what it means to truly surrender our hurts and struggles to God—both big and small. Surrender is a journey we all have to navigate, and we haven’t met anyone who thinks it’s easy. Fortunately, with the right strategies and practices, we can grow closer to God and experience His presence and peace in the process.

Relationships are beautiful, complicated, and sometimes heavier than we expect. In this episode, Miranda and Erica talk about unmet expectations, awkward conversations, friendship strain, boundaries, avoidance, and why healthy communication matters so much. Together, they explore what it looks like to assume the best, tell ourselves truer stories, ask better questions, and pursue more honest relationships, even when they are hard. Because maybe the goal is not perfect relationships, but more honest ones.

Being new at something is uncomfortable, but it is also where so much growth begins. In this episode, Erica and Miranda talk about what it means to be novice podcasters, the vulnerability of learning in public, and why trying new things can stir up anxiety, humility, laughter, and growth. From parenting and counseling to podcasting, ministry, friendship, and faith, they reflect on the courage it takes to keep learning instead of avoiding what feels hard. Together, they explore how Scripture invites us to remain teachable, how safe relationships help us grow, and why being beginners might be one of the healthiest things we can allow ourselves to be.

What does it actually mean to have social intelligence and why does it matter so much in our relationships, churches, and everyday lives?

In this episode of Somehow Together, Miranda and Erica have an honest, thoughtful, and sometimes funny conversation about social intelligence: the ability to understand people, navigate social dynamics, and help others feel seen, valued, and safe. Together they explore the difference between emotional intelligence and social intelligence, how our upbringing shapes the way we relate to people, and why healthy relationships require intentionality, curiosity, and growth.

From awkward small talk and church lobby interactions to leadership, conflict, listening skills, and making people feel important, this conversation is full of practical insight and vulnerable reflection. They also discuss lessons from Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, how Jesus modeled relational wisdom, and why encouragement often creates more lasting change than criticism.

Whether you naturally connect with people or constantly feel awkward in social spaces, this episode is a reminder that social intelligence is something we can all learn, practice, and grow in — somehow, together.
