  • Episode 4: Halloween Nostalgia & Layers of Lies

    Two fun topics today - Halloween and proposals! Liz and Laura both share their engagement stories and they are very different. One story involves layers of lies and one story involves penalty flags. We end the episode with our favorite things about Halloween, so this episode does require a mug of apple cider while listening. We hope you enjoy!
