The Knorr the Merrier: Recent Episodes
Annie + Jesse Knorr
Yay! You're here! Our podcast is a space for every day conversations. We're aiming for a fun & authentic environment where we hopefully make you smile and remind you that you're not alone. Not at all qualified to make a podcast, just excited to be here with you. :)
This week we dive into some of the things we’re passionate about! Jesse talks about his love of disc golf and music while Annie shares about zero waste living and the power of encouragement. We hope you enjoy this more casual, scatter-brained episode as we recuperate from a whirlwind of a week!
Text Jesse or send him a dm if you want to play disc golf!

The enneagram has been a very helpful tool to better understand ourselves and each other. It has been one of the biggest catalysts in our emotional, mental, and even spiritual growth. We aren’t experts by any means (this will be very apparent throughout the episode) but some of you have been asking about it, so we wanted to explain the basics and provide you with resources to dive in!

This week we get a little more vulnerable as we dive into the topic of emotional health. We process emotions very differently and have worked hard to understand one another. It’s still a journey in the making but it’s been worth every step.
