Today we are discussing the big 'D' word...DIVORCE! We are joined by Leanne Townsend, one of Toronto's top family Law attorneys and divorce strategists; she is also a fellow podcaster. We get into the real laws of divorce and what the actual rights are when it comes to ending a marriage. Leanne gives us some serious insight about divorcing when infidelity, abuse and wealth are involved and why pre-nups shouldn't have a bad rap! We also chat about why relationships breakdown at different stages of life as well as the different reasons why men and women want a divorce. Lauren and Jess talk about their "black and green thumbs," (guess who has what) and we dish on Britney news!

Romantic relationships get all the attention; beginnings, break-ups and everything in between, but what about friendships? Today we are discussing just that, friendships! We are talking all the eb's and flows that can happen during a friendship - how they start, how they change, life stages, drifting apart, jealousy, rekindling, saying yes to new friends and lots more. We share our experiences with all of it and what we have learned, which usually always ends with introspection. Enjoy!

On this episode, we go much deeper than the surface when it comes to make-up! We are chatting with the incredibly talented, inspiring and award winning make-up artist Julia Dantas. Julia has went through and accomplished A LOT in her young 24 years and has quite the story to share. Julia talks to us about overcoming an illness during her most formative years and how she used her passion for make-up artistry to help her through it; and how sheer dedication and a serious hustle paved the way for her success! Julia has a very impressive resume, from being a finalist on Kim Kardashians TV show, 'Glam Masters' to becoming a sought after social media content creator, to doing make-up for A-list celebs and major award shows, to starting her own beauty academy and so much more. Julia isn't just a pretty face that can create some of the most beautiful make-up looks you have ever seen, she is an extremely hard worker, who knows what it means to hustle and grind to accomplish what you want in life. Take a listen to what she has to say because it may give you the kick start or dose of reality you need to make some moves of your own. We also talk American politics and Lauren has a serious bone to pick with celebs. This is a jam-packed episode we know you will love! Please remember to rate, review and subscribe.
