On today's episode, I want to know about:

 * Finding connection in the age of instant gratification
 * Why being “a lot” is a good thing
 * The implications of “I’m here for you” vs. “I’m with you”
 * How social media may impact us socially in real life
 * Insecurity as a common part of the human experience
 * The importance of showing up for ourselves
