100. over one hundred hours of us yapping!!!

1 hour 14 minutes

hi hello hey for over the 100th time!!!

When we set out to create this show back in 2020, we had no idea of making it to 100 episodes. Even fewer sounded like a lofty and unreachable goal, and yet, here we are!

We are so proud and honored by everyone who’s listened, whether just recently or from the beginning; whether sporadically or loyally, you all helped make this show possible. We’re so happy with every episode we’ve released, and wanted to highlight some of our favorites as of this 100th episode. We hope you enjoy our look down memory lane and keep joining us for more to come.

grateful, joyful, humbled: we love you all 💓
