CONVERSATION IN FRENCH - RECAP IN ENGLISH ->1h05mn
In this episode, I invited my friend Zineb, who's a muslim dating a catholic.
So you guessed the episode...We dived into their relationship and how they managed to understand and love each other despite this big difference: religion.
She shared with me the values they have in common, the two subjects that are difficult to agree on and she's the first guest where I introduced the new all-guests questions to:
- Could you give me something you did that was spontaneous and generous?
- Could you give me something that people don't understand about you?
Check her answers!
Cet épisode est très spécial et personnel et je remercie Zineb de m'avoir fait confiance pour se livrer sur ce sujet: la différence de religion dans son couple. Elle est musulmane, il est catholique et ça fait 5 ans qu'ils sont ensemble. Tous les deux pratiquants dans leur religion, elle nous fait part de leur quotidien, des sujets difficultés à parler, des valeurs communes! Et j'introduis dans cet épisode les nouvelles questions à tous mes guests:
- Peux-tu me donner quelque chose que les gens ne comprennent pas de toi?
- Peux-tu me donner une chose que t'as faite pour quelqu'un de façon spontanée?
Ecoutez ce merveilleux épisode!

Thank you each and everyone of you who is part of the 'How do you juggle' podcast! I am very proud of this project! I'm very grateful that it resonates with you!

For this episode, I decided to do a Q&A. I will do it every 10 episodes! There I said it!

Merci à tous d'avoir écouté, téléchargé, partagé, commenté etc..
Je suis ravie de compter déjà 10 épisodes!! Il y en a pleins d'autres qui arrivent!
En attendant, voici mon premier Q&A episode. En anglais...MAIS je poste la vidéo dans les prochains jours avec les sous titres en français!
Enjoy et rdv bientôt pour le prochain nouvel épisode!
What is it about?
This podcast was created with the idea that we can be friends for long and still have deep conversations, or on the contrary, never talk about intense topics. It's still friendship either way. But maybe, this will open more conversations, to think, rethink things..learn or even..unlearn.
We talk about arts, career, parenting, loss, life itself.
Come listen and let us know what you think.
Who are they?
For these first few episodes, I asked some of my dearest friends to be part of this journey. They said yes and I can't thank them enough.
Remotely, in person, they were present to talk about stuff that means a lot to them, to us.
To you, my guests, thank you.
Amy
