#8 What do you look forward to or enjoy most about spring?

“ This appeals to me because it’s super friendly, relatable, and zero pressure. Personally, I enjoy the seasonal fruits and the increased availability. The other questions all open a door for someone, living with regret or longing, to be reminded that they never travel, are overwhelmed with clutter, never have time to relax and enjoy books and/or binge watching.” — Lisa S. Gerard

#7 What do you think of the recent “big red boots trend” that has taken over social media?

“The big red boots meme was a new one to me — I really am out of touch! I like the question asking people what they have read recently — always throws up some interesting suggestions for future reading :)” John Pearce

#1. What books, podcasts, or publications have you read or listened to recently that inspired you or made you think?

“ I love all of these questions! But this is my favorite one I think. I have been listening to a lot of Jay Shetty recently, and I think what he talks about is so helpful, so relatable, and easy to then apply in real :) “ — Elin Dieme
