Comment on “no worries” I have children that worked at Chick-fil-A and I ❤️the fact they responded to me at home “it’s my pleasure “ 😂😂😂 they couldn’t help themselves. Also the letting “things go” like baby blankets is so relatable to me. I do live in that past of being a mother to someone it’s like who am I if I’m not a mother. I know that was a perfect fit for me. Now I’m trying to free up some space so that new relationships or whatever can come in . Enjoy your podcast so much.

Just a comment/question on the “no worries” discussion. Twenty six years ago I spent a summer in Italy, and was struck by how often the phrase “no worries” was used. This was before the age of cell phones in every pocket and a more frenzied pace of life. Whether right or wrong, I perceived “no worries” as a gesture of kindness and an expression of slow living. I wonder if our use of “no worries” in the US has its roots in another culture? Has it taken on a different meaning here?
