Episode 24: The Art of Anticipation

From holiday traditions and shared plans to the anxiety and excitement of a packed December, they talk about why anticipation feels different during the holidays, how shared excitement deepens friendships and what it takes to stay present once the moment finally arrives.

Along the way, they share Wichita favorites, festive plans, thoughtful reflections and a holiday-themed round of This or That.
