About Stop Signs Are Optional
From the publisher's feed
Hi, I'm Lindsey, and this show is all about how I live life at full throttle. Making a complete stop is never an option for me. Things tend to get a little weird along the way and I’m here to share every scandalous, funny, and cringe-worthy detail. My hope is to allow others to embrace their weirdness too. I frequently team up with my best friend Allie as we dig out stories from our 16 year friendship and discuss how completely opposite we are.
Let me know how you're keeping things deliciously weird or questions you have about my full throttle life by calling or texting me at 407-434-0493. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ssao/support
