In Swell We Meet: A Series of Conversations with Fellow Swellcaster Friends - NOA LILY

You're so special and you're such a leader. And I really want to ask you about, why do you think you are somebody who people adore and love? Do you have a sense of yourself where you know who you are and what you are? Do you get shy when I say this to you? And if you get shy, what is that? Is that humility? Or is that just being uncomfortable with the idea of embracing yourself?

@Noalily we are celebrating your dad’s 60th but also you you you!

Here we go!!

Hello. First of all, thank you for that wonderful introduction, Frankie. I am currently driving to Lake Powell, where we're going to have our fun little trip to celebrate my dad. So I'm apologize for any background noise because I'm in a car with my family

I think it's always a question for me about how much do we listen to ourselves versus watch the world around us? And have you been thinking about that a lot lately in are there people that you consider mentors that have really helped you identify some of the markers that you want to make sure on your path. So it's really about intergenerational relationships, I guess, and what that means to you

My very VERY extended family

And so I've grown up with this really big community, and it's just been a normal thing for me. And I think how that's influenced me is I want to create that for myself as I grow up. And I think that having a lot of friends and family in your life is super important

@Noalily @DBPardes - Thank you, you two. 🙌🏻

Wow. First of all, thank you so much, Deborah, for ringing these twelve casts every now and then, and you're tagging people, bringing them along and giving their back stories and making these posts, which is so so refreshing. It's it's something that I love that you do and no one else actually does that better than you, at least that I know of. And it is something that we all need

And I think the culmination of COVID, Ironically, in terms of creating a lot of space for all of us to do wacky stuff is this trip we took and him jumping on the back of other boat kind of is a symbol of his joy from this incredible trip. So we're going to work backwards and he's a picture of a long jumping on the back of the boat

Back home...sad but happy?

He has had the best gap year. I think anyone has had. And it's been really nice to watch. And it's just kind of shown that this houseboat and trip has kind of been the culmination of all of that. And I'm really grateful that I got to be there to witness it all and to experience all of the fun and adventures that we all went on on this trip. And I'm so excited for more to come

Fire moon

One of the most amazing things about our trip was in the evenings, a couple of evenings, we had bonfires on the beach. And I caught a little picture of all of us in a circle under the moon. And what's so great about this area is the light changes all the time. But in this particular picture, you're going to see kind of a fire from the circle of people. And then you're going to see other moon on top. And it's really cool
