QSS Ep 63: Campania + "Me Time" vs. "Us Time"

DISCUSSIONS DU JOUR:

CAMPANIA -- THE PENULTIMATE ITALY EPISODE -- WOW

 

We are in the shin of Italy. Yes, the shin!

 

A varied landscape, from the foothills of volcanic Mt. Vesuvius to the valleys and the coastal plains… its another one of those regions with… variety…!

 

You ever heard of Pompei?! That's here too!

And the wines we're drinking are deeply interconnected with the history of Pompei.

It's pretty cool actually.

Even though the wines taste bad :)

 

In therapy, we are talking about Dan's new relationship.

Discussing how we balance ME TIME versus US TIME when we are kicking things off with a new buddy and we reaaaallllyy want to spend a looooot time time with them but also… we arepeople too? And we have lives also?

And those things require attention… and it’s a DELICATE BALANCE!

 

So that's what we are talking about. Togetherness vs. independence.

ABOUT THE QUE SERA SYRAH PODCAST:

After many consecutive Sunday mornings at the wine bar discussing our wine obsessions and our personal lives, we thought to ourselves… do you think other people might care about this stuff? The answer to that question is still ambiguous.But we recorded a podcast anyway.

 

Here's the deal:

🎤It’s a podcast about wine & therapy

🍷Dan and Elo will each bring a wine each week to taste & discuss

😩We will also bring our traumas & triumphs from therapy that week to share openly with the world

 

The goal is to learn about wine and get a little tipsy and be VULNERABLE TOGETHER. How cute?!
