Failure Cubby

March 08, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 28.8 MB

Jen is our last guest of the season, and we think she set a record for number of laughs in one episode. She started working from home before it was cool (long before the pandemic) and jokes about how her life hasn't actually changed much this past year...but has it?? We talk about what success means, mommy guilt, and the 'hangover cure.' There were so many good nuggets, we even took NOTES! We have yet to introduce a woman quite a sarcastic as her - you don't want to miss this one!

This woman just graduated from nursing school and is simply crushing life right now. Pop the bubbly and join Nic, Nik, and Kyoko!

This week we are joined by one of the most genuine, empowering and uplifting souls in our circle, Lana Schatz.
