Failure Cubby
March 08, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 28.8 MBJen 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!
Funny, Inspiring, and Pretty
March 01, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 29.6 MBThis week we had so many laughs with our friend, Kyoko! *Over a couple beverages* we got the 411 on all things parenting - how to manage 4 school-age kids in a pandemic, being a step mom, raising a teenager daughter, having a picky eater, and so so so much more. This woman just graduated from nursing school and is simply crushing life right now. Pop the bubbly and join Nic, Nik, and Kyoko!
It's a Setup!
February 22, 2021 04:00 - 57 minutes - 26.1 MBThe first men to grace our mics...our husbands. In this hilariously awkward episode, Willie and James join us and answer all your burning questions. If you're looking for snarky comments and controversial questions, you're in the right place. We talk everything from morning routines, hoarding, well done pizza, bathing in green beans and more. One of these men thinks this is all an elaborate setup! Pop your headphones on and join us for Better Together: HUSBANDS EDITION!
Happier People are Prettier People
February 08, 2021 04:00 - 52 minutes - 24 MBThis week we are joined by one of the most genuine, empowering and uplifting souls in our circle, Lana Schatz.
