Today we're handing our feed over to one of our favorite shows, Add To Cart! Hosts Kulap Vilaysack and SuChin Pak have honest, revealing (sometimes TMI) conversations about all the big and little things they’re adding to, or removing from, their carts. They decide what’s worth the monetary/emotional investment, and what’s not. 

In this episode, Kulap shares a spooky Christmas Eve tale with Su, which results in her learning a very important lesson about limits and self-care. Meanwhile, Su is worshiping at the altar of a new king. Listen to more Add to Cart, wherever you get your podcasts or go to https://lemonada.lnk.to/atcfd for more info.
