In this episode of Our Friendly World with Fawn and Matt, we explore how our modern culture of protection is shaping the way we live, dress, and connect. From armored fashion trends and massive SUVs to emotional walls and social tribes, Fawn and Matt unpack what it means to live in a world where everyone seems to be bracing for battle.
Why do we crave belonging yet fear vulnerability? How does our need for safety influence not just our choices—but our friendships, our art, and our sense of identity? Together, Fawn and Matt invite us to look deeper at how “protective identity” shows up in our everyday lives and what it takes to stay open-hearted in an age of self-defense.
A conversation filled with honesty, cultural insight, and gentle humor—reminding us that awareness, curiosity, and kindness are the strongest forms of protection we have.
