Kristin and Leigh are joined by Johnna Robinson, a lifelong friend from Kristin's hometown.  When Kristin accidentally sent an extremely critical text message about a political post that Johnna made on Facebook to Johnna instead of to Leigh, as she intended, she faced having to have a difficult conversation with her friend Johnna in order to repair their friendship.  Leigh and Kristin recorded this episode remotely with Johnna, and discuss the incident and what happened afterward.  Johnna's gracious response to her old friend's screwup, despite Kristin having hurt her feelings, set the tone for how we stretch for those friends that matter to us.  The amazing truth is that Kristin and Johnna were able to consider their reconnection under negative circumstances as a positive new beginning to their 30-year friendship.  This lesson is one that should be learned by all of us, as we live in such a polarized culture, where we easily block or unfriend someone whose viewpoints don't match ours.  The over-politicization of all topics, including the pandemic, has made it difficult to easily discuss many topics that wouldn't have been off-limits before.  The discussion turns to how it is not a positive thing to live in an echo chamber, where your own beliefs are confirmed and re-confirmed without challenge.  As Johnna says, "Our friendship is just our friendship.  Who am I to condemn ANYone for what they believe?  You just don't get anywhere by fighting about these things."  When you have a friendship that has lasted for 30 years, it's a precious thing that isn't worth throwing away over a simple misunderstanding.   The challenging world we live in today has made it even more important that we keep our friends close.
