zohran mamdani is a breath of fresh air for new york city and we are ecstatic that the people have come behind him, but we cant lie and say there are a couple things we're scared of... will zohran coming into office bring more political separation and islamaphobia to the city? will the state be in the support of him the way the people are? tune in to hear our thoughts!!!

hellooo hello! this is our season finale as we both shift focus temporarily to so calm wedding planning!!! this episode is all about how easy it is to hold grudges and grow resentment, mostly with our parents but also with friends and others that have done us wrong. we dive deep into how we interact with grudges, how we remind ourselves to have empathy in the toughest times, and how to give some grace when its needed most. this is a goodie duh listen!!!!

all of our parents told their kids lies to protect them growing up, but how about the ones that blatantly make no sense?? did u hear that simply praying and eating veggies clears ur skin?? how about that the idea that family should be the only people u can trust as they're fighting over land while telling you this?? in this episode, we're dissecting superstitious beliefs, traditional mindsets, and false propaganda that we almost fell for until we got older. hope u enjoy this one!
