Linda’s friends and family are starting to feel even more far away. As we live increasingly global lives, Linda is wondering, how do we maintain these homegrown relationships while setting down roots elsewhere? 

Linda spends an afternoon with illustrator and podcast host Sophie Ansari (Podcrushed & @scribbledbysophie) and hears about her life living overseas away from her close knit family. 

You also hear about how Sophie’s birth experience solidified her identity and compelled her to step up from her people pleasing ways. They chat about Sophie’s approach to motherhood, how her husband and her share the parenting load, and how both women are suckers for nostalgia. 

Search up Sophie's podcast Podcrushed with her co hosts Penn Badgley & Nava Kavelin, plus follow her on IG @scribbledbysophie 

Join Linda on her hilarious and real journey towards self-reflection and growth. Season 3 will continue to see Linda grapple with every essence of change and control with an extended season of weekly episodes of returning characters and a new cast of exciting guests: comedians Blair Socci (Aqua Teen Forever), DeAnne Smith (Netflix’s Gender Agenda), best-selling author & therapist Vienna Pharaon (The Origins of You), and more to be revealed.
