This week we swap stories about our fashion quirks and the hilariously mismatched outfits that make us who we are. From Jo's playful grilling of Matt's love for cozy oversized clothes to tales of "Gumby syndrome" in the family, our conversation offers a humorous take on body image and self-perception. Laugh along as we navigate the complexities of dressing for comfort versus style and attempting pull-ups at 37 weeks pregnant!

Whether we're discussing the art of fitting an access point system in the house or recounting the frenzy of Black Friday shopping, our anecdotes offer a lighthearted glimpse into the joys and challenges of everyday living. Plus, we debate the anxiety-inducing headlines that flood our news feeds and how they shape our perceptions of the world. And we answer questions from the listeners this week, ranging from how to handle different religious and political perspectives in parenting, to how to build community away from home.

Don’t forget to check out our Patreon for more laughs and insights, and keep those questions coming for our future episodes!
