The girls sit down to talk a little about their (not well thought out) 5 year plans, goals they have, and what they'd like to spend their lives doing. Then asking themselves, what if they never reached those goals, did those things, or traveled to those places.....would you still be happy?

This question stressed Alexis out a bit - rightfully so - but it was an important question Marissa asked herself when deciding whether or not to leave her last relationship.

Welcome to the 3rd Volume of our advice column series: Let's Unpack That where we read your anonymous submissions of situations you're in, problems you're having, or advice you need and unpack it together like you're on FaceTime with your best friend talking about it in real time. We want to be your shoulder to cry on, warm hug, and ear to listen while providing you with the pep talk, tough love, and self love reminders to help get you through whatever it is you're going through.

Through this series we will open up about how we can relate to different submissions, how we might have managed it ourselves if we've caught ourselves in the same situations, or unpack what we would do in these situations. We'll help you unpack why you might be thinking this way and challenge your thought processes, biases, inner child tendencies, or traumas that might also play a hand in your dilemmas.

I think Marissa may be taking ~signs from the universe~ a little too far because she's now having revelations from Insurance company commercials lol. But first, the girls kick off with their high and lows of the past week again to get us in a chatty mood before diving deeper into why we compromise as people, when it is it too much, and when to stop.

Marissa thought this week's episode was going to be one of those "tough love" big sister episodes where she would yell at you to *stop worrying about what men think of you* but it actually turned into something much deeper...

We start off the episode with a nice High & Low from the last week which was unexpected but so wholesome & ended the episode with an unknown fact about why Marissa slept on the right side of the bed in the past...(it's not what you're expecting lol)

The girls recorded this episode the Tuesday after the engagement, it's just taken a bit to get out to all of you. But now we can relive this precious day 1 month later!

Marissa tells her thoughts getting ready that morning, how she ended up in the white dress and how she KNEW what was going to happen (because someone leaked it lol)

Alexis shares how she was involved and all the prep, stress, and phone calls it took to pull this thing off with Kohen.

The Book Club *actually* made it out of the group chat yall! We're so excited to share all the details with you and invite you to join this beginner friendly, Sunday Reset vibe, genre floating book club (it's a non-negotiable...you kinda have to). We have already chosen our first book that we will be reading & we'll be sharing that with you in today's episode as well as how this whole thing will work.

This is our first time doing something like this, so as always give us feedback for how to make the Book Club better and better! Share it with your friends because we are so excited to chat with yall on a weekly basis and do a virtual check in at the end of the month. If you're nervous, that's okay! Marissa is not a reader (like...at all) and is nervous too. But let's get out of our comfort zones together & have some fun!

VOLUME 2

In volume 2 of Let's Unpack That, we talk more about how to keep in contact and stay close with the friends you make in college because once you leave, it can be pretty hard to maintain those social friendships - especially if you're long distance (like we are!). Marissa can also relate to being a serial dater and shares some experiences and advice for how you can stop being one (even though there's nothing wrong with it!). We also tackle the ever so popular "I feel like a different person when I'm in a relationship" because that one is a doozy. The tough love scenario of this episode comes when someone asked "I love my partner but sometimes I think 'is this really who I want to be with?'" + MORE!

We learned that there was also an APOLOGY TEST that we could take while talking to Allie....so of course we had to take it.
