Friends Next Door

There's always that friend who's down for anything, whether it's grabbing a simple dinner or trying out something new. And then there's that friend who's always willing to hear you vent. They don't need to give you a solution, but they're there and that's enough. What kind of a friend are you? Have you changed as a friend now compared to your younger years?  As always, if you have a burning question, find us here:Email: [email protected]: @frndsnextdoorDan: @therealdanchenMia: @msmiaaaThomas: @mundane_photos

In the spirit of keeping up with the times, Dan, Kuan and Mia discussed their understanding of main character energy. To those who are chronically online, we're sure you've heard about this. Be the start of your own movie. You're in charge of creating your own story. Forge your own path. Do we think this creates an invisible pressure to be 'extra'? Is there something wrong about wanting to be a 'background character'?  As always, if you have a burning question, find us here:Email: [email protected]: @frndsnextdoorDan: @therealdanchenMia: @msmiaaaThomas: @mundane_photos

Have you ever looked around the room and realized that... you're now the adult in the room? That it's time to take control of the situation to avoid any unwanted consequences. Do you like being the adult in the room or do you wish that sometimes someone would just help you figure things out?  As always, if you have a burning question, find us here:Email: [email protected]: @frndsnextdoorDan: @therealdanchenMia: @msmiaaaThomas: @mundane_photos

It's December 2025. WHERE did the year go? We used to say this jokingly but we're dead serious now. We used to wait forever for school year to end, for Christmas to arrive, for our vacation to finally start.. whatever it may be! Do you guys also feel like time somehow flies faster as we age? Is there a way to slow it down?  As always, if you have a burning question, find us here:Email: [email protected]: @frndsnextdoorDan: @therealdanchenMia: @msmiaaaThomas: @mundane_photos

We've spent time talking about "home" and "where you're from" on this podcast.  On this episode we dive deeper into how important roots are.  If you spent your life moving around, you may be struggling to answer the 'where are you from' question. Your childhood memories may have been formed at your hometown, but then you moved away in your formative years, and then again as you're stepping into adulthood. Where is home? When do we think it's time to put down roots? How important is it?  As always, if you have a burning question, find us here:Email: [email protected]: @frndsnextdoorDan: @therealdanchenMia: @msmiaaaThomas: @mundane_photos
