Welcome to Pretty Pour Decisions, a cozy chaotic podcast that celebrates life’s pivots and plot twists that weren’t part of the plan but great for the plot. 

Every week, we’re pouring one out for the original plan and diving into unhinged stories, side quests, and spirals that come with chasing purpose, pivoting careers, and just trying to figuring it out. We’ll also occasionally have special guests and bring in stories from the community. 

So grab a drink— we are about to make some pretty pour decisions.

Keep up with the shenanigans on social @prettypourpod
