Happy July! Happy New Fiscal Year!! Here are some self-care ideas for the summer!

20/06/2025

We’ve put together a thoughtful list of summer-themed deep conversation topics for the month of July. You can ask these to your significant other, a close friend, a member of the family, or answer them on your own. Answer one a day for the whole month and see where the conversations take you.

There is nothing wrong with light-hearted conversation, and there is a time and place for it. But sometimes, it’s great to open up to someone and talk about things you wouldn’t usually. That’s how we form deeper connections.
