Your favorite hosts have absolutely no issue admitting we're a hot mess, but we also talk about how therapy has helped us chill out and become a..."luke-warm" mess, if you will. This episode, instead of joking about our downward spirals, we brought in our guest Kheri, LPC in training, to talk about mental health, therapy and all the buzz about self care - while still joking about downward spirals of course. See what we learned, you don't want to miss this episode!

Hey Hey, we're back hoe! And we're still broke like before. We start up the second half of season 1 of Success Pending with money talk, how we're all in suffocating debt and what we're doing to keep afloat. We also welcome out first guest to the podcast, Jussol, a Chicago recording artist from the south side. If you haven't herd of her, you will now.  Jus has been an opener for AHHH! Fest and performed all throughout the city - she WORKS. She gives us an insider on the Do's and Don'ts of trying to navigate the music scene in Chicago so all you inspiring artists take notes!

Friends! How many of us have them? Making friends in your mid 20's is weird, right? Unless you're in school or have connections it can be difficult to secure your friendship circle. Today we talk about making friends, and the different kind of friends we have and learning how to be comfortable being by yourself.

With so much happening in the month of June - Juneteenth, Pride and just being black 365 - we want to talk about how we all celebrate ourselves, especially when there is no official rule book on *how* to celebrate being Black. Hear what we had to say on this latest episode.

Mongolian beef or pork belly? Change jobs or change cities? If you're indecisive about almost everything, we promise it's not just you. The infamous quarter life crisis is upon us and it's a b***h. Listen to us deconstruct our 20's sofar and toss around what plans we have left before the dirty 30. Music by Orlando Coolridge Web: Orlandocoolridge.com Instagram: orlandocoolridge 

 It's a disrespectful 56 degrees today. Yall...it's well into June. So today we're reminiscing about warmer, happier days - Specifically, Sunday at Hyde Park Brew Fest a few weeks ago (the day that didn't hail). Is summer time Chi canceled?

Until the weather decides to act right, hear me complain about "the kale man".

Look out for our full episode this Thursday!
