In today's episode, THE LADIES LOSE THEIR GUEST VIRGINITY !! The ladies and their guest discuss several important and potentially triggering topics all while sippin' tequila, of course. With that said, we ask that you all join the ladies in doing a mental health self-check before listening. Ali starts off by mentioning the recent uprise in violent crimes and discrimination against Asian-Americans, specifically against the elder Asian-American community. Today's guest, Meg, shares her story about surviving a toxic relationship, the loss of a loved one due to drug addiction, and the healing process of her traumas. Chev, also shares her experience in surviving an toxic relationship and where she's at in her mental health recovery. Grab those tissues because there are lots of drunk tears in this one. Feel free to pour yourself a glass and have a drink with the ladies as they get real, vulnerable, and boozy (unless you're driving, then pour a glass later).
