  • Shorter Days, Wilder Predictions 🍂🌒😂 (#81)

    Fall is officially here — the leaves are turning, the sun is clocking out at 7:40 PM in Michigan, and apparently, we were all supposed to get raptured on 9/23 👀 (spoiler: we didn’t).

    In this episode of Please, Do Tell, we’re talking:
    🌅 How shorter days + longer nights change the vibe
    🙏🏾 The wild rapture predictions (and the memes that kept us laughing)
    🍲 Fall reset routines, cozy meals, and planning for holiday season

    🎧 Tap in for laughs, culture talk, and a little soul check-in as we ease into autumn.
    Then tell us: If the rapture had happened, what’s the one thing you’d be mad you didn’t get to do first? 👇🏾
