DORÉ

This was fabulous. So genuine. And hilarious. Very refreshing, and the perfect ending to the week. Please keep them coming!

Très chouette vidéo ! Alors quelques questions pour la prochaine ! : Garance, comment se passe la cohabitation avec des ados (si j’ai bien compris) ? Et à toutes, qu’est-ce que vous envisagez de changer dans votre” vie d’après”? C’est une question que je me pose pour moi…

I loveeeed the podcast/video! It was so natural and relaxing .. and the fact that you are in three different situations was a bonus (so sorry about the breakup V) Thank you guys. Looking forward to more.

So wonderful to see your lovely faces, to hear your struggles and your laughter, to have a moment of being all in on this together. x

That was so fun. Would like to see your outdoor hikes and having a zoom dinner or cooking. Keep safe.

The Three Musketeers !!! *_*

You guys are great! I had a big grin on my face while watching, loved every second of it! Please, please do more! Staying connected with your subscribers is at these terrible times more important than ever.

I live in Alicante (Spain) and lockdown here is being tough. Absolutely no one has been allowed to go out for a walk or anything other than going out to get groceries or meds and we’ve been isolating for 5 weeks so far, and as of yesterday, the government has extended confinement until May 9th. Maybe, just maybe, after the 26th of this month, children 12 and under will be allowed to go out for a short walk with a parent. So, everyone is feeling restless including myself. I live alone and I have no one “in my bubble”, so I rely on my cell phone texting and making calls to vent and keep my sanity. Nonetheless, I’m teleworking a bit so that is my personal “ventilator” and of course doing a lot of writing as well, as you can see (hahaha)

As for more subjects to do in future PPMFs, I’d like to suggest sharing what is on your “new” bucket list. What will be the first thing you’ll do after this is over? and most importantly… why have you chosen that will be the first thing? …I’m working on mine. I’ll share after you.

Thank you very much for your efforts to make the video connection, which is not easy under the circumstances! Love

Me encanta el vídeo. Estoy aprendiendo inglés y me viene muy bien.

I enjoyed every second of this and can’t wait for the next one ! Thank you for your openness, simplicity and sincerity ! I would be very interested to hear about how your business is impacted by this crazy but yet dramatic situation… How are you all dealing with it ? How is atually the Doré team adjusting to it ? I started a small business a few months ago. Now the whole world is on hold, so am i, and that brings up so many questions and uncertainties. Clearly, we’re all facing up the same apprehensions but I’d love to know your feelings and opinions (which are always so inspiring and helpful to me). I wish you all the best wherever you are. Stay safe and take care. Much love from Belgium !

I always listen to the podcast and it was the first time I saw Veronica’s and Emily’s faces. That was cool!
Also, keep up! I had a bad day today and you made me laugh, thank you!
At 6 o’clock here also: bring the alcohol, please!
In lockdown in Buenos Aires, Argentina for a month now with two boys and my husband.
I enjoyed your conversation.
Besos!

Oh this was so lovely. thank you for sharing your covid story. And this really made me feel a little less lonely. the zoom format made me feel like I was hanging out with you all. thank you.

How lovely to put your faces to voices! My GFs and I love Pocket Pardon my French.

COVID-19 has certainly made everything a little bit more challenging. In a weird way I kind of like another challenge. If my relationship can get through this, we’re solid (right?!) ..

A bit over a year ago my long term partner (of 10 yrs) broke up – he cheated.. WTF! After the initial shock and grief passed, I made the conscious decision to let go of the bitterness. I had a tonne of fun dating and had really positive experiences meeting men. I have a theory it was because I wasn’t seeking to meet my forever person- more like practising meeting people and squeezing every drop out of life. I ended up meeting two men that I felt like I was falling in love with. Seemed a bit greedy when some of my friends were not having the same “luck”. I won’t give too many details away here (like GD, I can talk). Anyway, I ended up “choosing” one who was perfect on paper…and then reverted back to the other after he made some big beautiful gestures of his adoration for me. It was always him but it took me a while as he has a few children (I was initially hesitant about dating a guy with kids). I now advocate for it – dads can be so attractive. It’s made me think about the stigma attached to being a stepmum. Why is stepmum associated negatively (the evil step-mum)? Is this the same in Europe? It may be too early to discuss with GD, but I’m curious how’s she’s managing? I added a bunch of stepmum books to my cart, but never actually purchased… am I a stepmum if I’m dating a man with kids?! So far my experience has been amazing but challenging and plenty of RAW discussions with my partner. He’s an amazing man, and a great communicator. Gosh, the love and passion we have is strong!

On date 3 after I decided to put aside my biases, I asked him about kids and he reassured me he was open to it “what more of a beautiful thing than creating a child with someone you love” he said. Of course, as time and the realities of life chime in, the discussions change slightly. It’s not off the table but I struggle with this a bit as I wonder is it something I want more than him? If I don’t mention it ever again, will he chase me for it? Why do I want biological kids? Do I definitely? If I do and miss out, am I compromising something I want for love. This is my most recent battle. In a time where the challenges of parenting are illuminated to the max (homeschooling, tantrums galore), it’s not a cute time to plan for more kids.. is it?

WOW – what a long post. to hit send, or not to hit send.. ah what the heck *presses send*

Loved it ! What will you be doing first when the lockdown is over ? Who will you be seeing first ?

Garance, would you share your experience and expertise on photography and offer some lessons, tips on how to shoot/style for interiors?

Yay! Been waiting for this and it’s a bonus that we can also see your faces. :)

Total feel good video <3

Thanks for sharing this bit of girl talk – I watched till the end!! For future topics, one thing I grabbed on to is Emily sharing that she is alcohol free… did you say 2 years sober?! Amazing. I decided to stop drinking on Feb. 1st of this year, and of course didn’t anticipate the crazy coincidence of this overlapping with a pandemic. So I went into our lockdown with 5 week sobriety, and have managed to keep it up thanks to sober podcasts and other sources of distraction / inspiration. It really helps me to hear women especially talk through their relationship with alcohol, good or bad, so that I can process my own feelings.
Other than that, I love to hear more details about hair styling!! My husband helped cut mine and I attempted to add in a few layers, but it’s not quiiiiite right!

This made me feel normal again, thank you, ladies! XOXO

Many thanks!
So happy you guys are doing this!
I’ve missed the podcast very much :)

Love it ! Keep it on ?
