Want to catch up on what the heck b CAUSE is all about? Or are you a superfan and would love a chance to walk down memory lane with Erin and Nicole? If you said "yes" to either of those, this episode is for you!

Join our hosts, Erin Hatzikostas and Nicole Licata Grant, as they pause, take a deep breath, and celebrate the fact that somehow they punched out 30 podcast episodes in the last 7 months.

Join this episode to hear them recount and recap some of the best moments and most poignant thoughts that have come out of the "first 30". Of course and as always, these are lots of laughs (mostly at their own expense) to be had in the episode. And there's also a lot of raw emotion and inspiration to be drawn as well.

Happy 30th to our listeners! Here's to be 30+ more!
