EPISODE 22: “From Acquaintances to Family — Choosing Our Village, Raising Our Kids, and Protecting Our Values”

This week on Roots & Rhythm, Angie returns to join Vlad for a heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply grounding conversation about how they went from acquaintances… to family.

They break down:

• How intentional friendship became a village rooted in love, accountability, and shared values
• What it took to integrate their spouses and wider circle into a healthy, supportive community for their kids
• Why “Parents Night Out” turned into an unforgettable memory
• The truth about who raised them growing up—neighbors, aunties, uncles, and the “unofficial” family members who shaped their character
• What they’re choosing to repeat… and what they’re intentionally changing for the next generation

If you’ve ever wondered how to build a tribe of friends who become family—this episode is your blueprint.
