A Squirrel’s World
Hosted by April & Carly · EN
Picture this - you're sipping coffee, chilling on a park bench, in the lobby at church or waiting in line at the store when you catch two gals deep in conversation.
Want in on the fun? You're invited to eavesdrop as we spill the tea on real-life tales, life lessons, and those hilarious 'squirrel moments' - you know, when your train of thought takes a crazy detour!
Get ready for a virtual hangout bursting with giggles and good vibes. We might stray off track (blame those pesky 'squirrel moments'), but we promise you'll enjoy the ride. From kiddos to relationships, Jesus, and hot topics, nothing's off-limits in our chatty corner of the internet.

Awkward Squirrels
Jan 21, 202500:35:01Tap to summarizeSend us a text“Did I really just say that?”How often do we overthink, ruminate on how awkward we were in a situation, or just plain stick our foot in our mouths?You are not alone! Today, you can find comfort and laughter as the squirrels can relate to the totally awkward moments of life.Using Google as our trusty definition finder, we cover everything from those gut-wrenching moments of awkward silences to stage fright and even mental health like social anxiety and imposter syndrome. Deep diving into social anxiety/awkwardness, we cover questions like, “what’s the difference between pleasing people and social anxiety?”, “does being an introvert or extrovert affect anxiety?”, and “how do I know if I have imposter syndrome?”.Ultimately, we can turn to the word of God to find peace that surpasses all understanding.Resources:Be Real Because Being Fake Is ExhaustingMo Aiken (Isom) Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/mo.isom.9 Mo Aiken (Isom) webpage- https://moisom.com/ Scripture References:Galatians 1:10Proverbs 23:23Proverbs 29:25Proverbs 18:211 Thessalonians 5:11In a Squirrel's World, we are all about creating community.
