34 min - Episode 2: Raised in Las Vegas— From Nightclubs to Church, Elvis to Outer Space
Welcome to the wild ride that is growing up in Las Vegas as we dive into what it’s actually like being raised in the city of sin — where you go from nightclubs to church and somehow end up talking about a “Karen in space.” We share personal stories, unfiltered thoughts, and plenty of laughs along the way and how this city made us barely functioning (in the best way possible).

From 8-minute coded calls for emotional SOS to how they’ve grown into wildly different lives (one a single fashion and film designer, the other a casino exec, wife & mom), this episode sets the tone for what it means to show up, stay honest, and laugh through the chaos.
