Claire: And this is Claire. Joy: Welcome back. It’s another week at the podcast.  Claire: It’s March. Joy: It’s March. Someone mentioned last week on our Instagram page. I think you did a post around podcasting for nine years. Someone was like, “Oh my gosh, are you going to plan a ten-year trip?” I was like, we really should start planning that now. It would be summer of next year. Summer 2023, right? Claire: Yes. Okay, before we get started, we do want to say that on this podcast we are not going to address the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We do not know enough about that issue for us to speak in a way that feels authentic, in a way that feels helpful or useful or like it would add anything to the conversation. I feel like right now there are some really great accounts you can be following. We will link a couple in our show notes. I just want to be very sensitive to that, to acknowledge that there is a huge global event happening right now. We are not trying to skate over it. We are not trying to ignore it, but we just don’t have anything to add to that conversation. We very much support the people of Ukraine. We very much are worried and – Joy: We’re keeping up to date on our own of what’s going on.  Claire: Exactly. Joy: I’m reading every day. I’m listening to a lot of podcasts of people that are actually there. If you haven’t listened to The Daily with Sabrina Tavernise, she’s doing real live updates of what’s going on. It’s heartbreaking. I think bottom line is because we are not posting about it or talking about it on the podcast at length, that doesn’t mean we don’t care. We are supporting Ukraine. We are sending all of our love. And also, we know that things are changing daily. We want to be responsible too about the content that we’re putting out about it. Claire: I think the only other thing that I’ll add is that if you were looking for places to donate, the places I have donated are the UN Refugee Agency as well as World Kitchen. These are two organization that I either have personal experiences with or people close to me have personal experiences with working directly with those non-profits. So I feel pretty confident in those.
