In this episode of Our Friendly World with Fawn and Matt, we explore an old but powerful tool for emotional awareness: HALT — Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired.

From college memories to parenting challenges, we unpack how these four states often drive our reactions, decisions, and relationships. We talk about:

• 
  

  Why recognizing HALT can stop conflicts before they spiral

  
  


• 
  

  How hunger is more than food—it’s about true nourishment

  
  


• 
  

  Why loneliness may be the most dangerous trigger of all

  
  


• 
  

  What parenting reveals about unmet needs in adults

  
  


• 
  

  Simple ways to bring calm, connection, and awareness back into daily life

  
  

This is our playful and practical reminder to pay attention to our own state—and the state of those around us—transforming how we show up in friendship, family, and community.
