And she literally wrote back with a number.

And then I felt like we had this micro connection for the moment, which I think was really good.

One idea that Mia has pioneered is she asks people, she's asked me for three words.

So I went to Washington, D.C.

recently on work.

And it was obviously, you know, a sort of dramatic experience in a number of ways.

And Mia texted me while I was away three words for Washington.

And it's really helpful to just be asked to nominate three words when you're having an experience where you are feeling a lot of big feelings and you don't quite know how to put that into words.

I think the main tip is like not to say, how are you?

I think it's just that is conversation killer.

I like also asking someone if they're reading anything good or

If they're watching The Pit because I'm obsessed.

Oh, that's interesting.

I think so.

Like if someone was that direct with you.

Well, me is pretty direct.

And I feel like we have sometimes our friendship has gone through a stage of just sending each other articles.

And that is a way of communicating because maybe there's too much going on in both of our lives to debrief properly.

We don't even really want to get into it.

So the sending of articles is a way of being in touch without having to get into it at any given time.
