This week the girls talk about the realities of life before during and after the pandemic… If you can even say that we are done with the pandemic.

This pandemic has been an opportunity for so many people to reset their lives either voluntarily or otherwise. But how have we all really been living through all of this? They discuss their views on the vaccine and their plans to be OUTSIDE ASAP! Nichole is already outside, she just got back from Vegas.

Kay and Nichole also talk about their love for music, the importance of friends and family, pandemic purchases, and so many other things that have pushed them through this pandemic.

The pandemic pushed some and slowed some down. There’s so much pressure to come out of this pandemic an entrepreneur, a swim suit model, the next Steve Jobs, but yall it’s ok to be exactly who and what you are today.
