Fawn and Matt dive into a powerful Maya Angelou quote: “You shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.” The conversation unpacks what it means to be constantly in receiving mode—emotionally, spiritually, and even materially—and why true connection and growth require both giving and receiving. From baseball metaphors to bug spray mishaps, this episode explores how over-preparedness, survival mode, and self-awareness shape our relationships and our role in the world. With humor, vulnerability, and a few family antics, Fawn and Matt invite you to reflect on how you show up—and what you offer—in your everyday life.
