Waffles Friends Work is a values-driven leadership and personal development podcast that explores how we show up for ourselves, in our relationships, and at work. Drawing from sources ranging from Parks and Rec and The Good Place to Brené Brown and Adam Grant, Waffles Friends Work gives relatable examples and actionable takeaways for your day-to-day life. Hosted by moms, business partners, and sisters Kara Wight and Jensie Wight, the podcast is a light—hopefully funny—way to think about growing into the person you want to be. The name Waffles Friends Work comes from the Leslie Knope quote "We need to remember what's important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work. Doesn't matter, but work is third." As such, each mini-season will explore a theme and apply it to those three areas giving listeners a mix of philosophical and down-to-earth concepts to think about and try.

  • Using Values as Your Compass in Life's Transitions

    Using Values as Your Compass in Life's Transitions
    Apr 27 2026

    There are some transitions we choose: marriage, college, changing careers, and some that maybe are chosen for us (or happen naturally) like kids leaving the nest, divorce, or job loss. Navigating these changes is always hard, but using our values as a compass can help guide us through. In this episode, Kara and Jensie cover some of the changes they've experienced and how coming back to their values eased some (but definitely not all) of the difficulties of those transitions.
