What a Gift Podcast

Two friends unwrap ordinary life — the chaos, disappointments, spirals, fresh starts, and weird little joys — and practice receiving it as something that might actually be a gift.We’re not, by nature, the kind of people who look at life’s chaos and chirp, “What a gift!” But maybe we should be. So we’re practicing — one conversation at a time — laughing (and sometimes complaining) our way through the little treats, let-downs, and weird in-between moments that make up life, slowly figuring out how to mean it when we say, “What a gift.”

  Cameras & Dresses

  Aug 13, 202649 min

  This week, Jule and Sarra are talking about two gifts that may seem simple on the outside, but truly help us appreciate beauty: Cameras & Dresses. First, they unwrap the gift of cameras chatting about how photos (and videos too) help us hold onto the moments that we love, and the people that had made them so special. Then they jump into the gift of dresses, from everyday throw-ons to the magnificent wedding guest dresses. They also struggle through the difficulties that come with trying to find the right dress bringing up the pressure we can all put on ourselves. But they ultimately remind us that we are all allowed to look beautiful and glam up for the right occasions. Along the way: vintage board games, a mayonnaise sandwich, big family chaos, wedding dress shopping, iconic movie makeovers, the Easter Vigil, and some very questionable white elephant gifts. Get your best dress on for the photo shoot and tune in for this beautiful episode!

  Nostalgia & Ice Cream

  Jul 30, 202644 minS5

  For this week’s episode, Sarra and Jule are talking about two gifts that pair surprisingly well: Nostalgia and Ice Cream. They start by unwrapping the gift of Nostalgia. Jule and Sarra look back on screen doors, playing outside all day, Christmas catalogs, iconic childhood outfits, and all the little things that can instantly transport us to another time. They also talk about why nostalgia creates such a deep ache, how our longing for the past can reveal what we’re really searching for, and how we can use those memories to create a present worth feeling nostalgic for someday. Then they explore the gift of Ice Cream! The gals debate the best flavors, share their favorite ice cream traditions, and talk about everything from neighborhood Dairy Queen walks and beachside ice cream carts to the haunting life of an ice cream truck driver. Most importantly, they celebrate how a simple scoop can turn an ordinary summer night into something special. To close out the episode, Jule and Sarra play a round of White Elephant and decide whether they would receive, return, or regift plated dinners, girl math, Diet Coke, mid-century modern decor, and backing into parking spots. So, grab a cone, dig out an old photo album, and join the gals for a conversation about remembering the gifts of the past while making room for the gifts right in front of us.
