We started 'it's cool, us too' from our bedrooms during Covid. I know many of us struggle to remember what Covid even felt like (I think in the biz they call that a "trauma response") but one thing we do remember is just how much we needed a shake-up. We were feeling worn down, uninspired, and lonely. And we wanted to feel connected to a community of women who were grappling with what their 30s should look like just like us. ⁠⁠To anyone who has listened to an episode, written in to give us feedback, liked or saved a post, or sent us a little bit of love...we love you. Thank you for being our favourite part of every week.
