We are extremely thankful for all of your support. As we end the Season 3 finale of The Common Nomad podcast! We hope you enjoyed the conversations and perspectives we offered.
Unreliable Friends
On this week's episode of The Common Nomad podcast, Edward & Scylla discuss friends who aren't quite reliable. We might even refer to them as flaky. These are the types of friends that say they'll do something, but in reality they won't. There comes a point in time where you start to seem them for who they are. Are these friendships worth it in the end?
Hierarchy of Friendship
This week's episode, Edward & Scylla discuss the hierarchy of friendship, specifically the difference between good, close and best friends.
You're Way Too Sensitive (HSP)
This episode, we talk about being a highly sensitive person and the difference of emotional capabilities between friends. A highly sensitive person (HSP) is a term coined by psychologist Dr. Elaine Aron. What does it mean when the tolerance to handle emotions can cause potential issues/conflicts in friendships?
Arrival Fallacy
This week's episode on The Common Nomad Podcast, we revisit an old episode from an earlier season. On part one, we discussed what it means when you treat your accomplishments as a checklist item. This episode discusses when the goal becomes a bit blurry or the illusion that accomplishing your goals will make you happy.
The Loneliness Epidemic
On this episode of The Common Nomad Podcast, Edward & Scylla discuss the loneliness epidemic that was introduced by Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murphy. On June 29, 2023, Dr. Vivek Murphy spoke about the plaguing mental health crisis: loneliness. It is unfortunate to hear that this has been an issue before the COVID-19 pandemic. If Americans are as lonely as Dr. Murphy claims, what does that say about the state of friendships?
Be My Mentor & My Friend
Exploring friendships with mentors. Mentorship is a great asset when done right. Depending on that experience, it can even evolve beyond the initial encounter. When the time period of mentoring is over, should it transition to friendship?
Finding & Strengthening Community: Volunteerism

The Business of Friendship
In this episode of the Common Nomad podcast, we discuss shifting our friendship to becoming business partners. Starting a podcast has been an interesting experience.

Friendships & Self Care: Living Abroad
Welcome to Season 3 of the Common Nomad Podcast! According to podcast statistics, most podcasts fail and less than 20% of podcasts started may not make it in the following year. We are definitely grateful for having season three and our listeners.
This episode, we have Brittney Mengistu (a friend of Priscilla's) who has done research in the Eritrean and Ethiopian populations looking at migration, self-care, and mental health. This was a great collaboration to discuss self-care (when living abroad) and friendships.
