That's What E Said

If you had told Emma 2.5 years ago that she would get her fiancé to do a podcast episode with her, she would've slapped you and sobbed dramatically. Alas, here we are! Zac—better known as "Z" to her audience—is in the closet this week and talking all things life, work, and the pursuit of turning 40. This is a special episode. You'll get to know Zac from his POV and learn how someone so private ended up with someone so public and how, somehow, it's really worked out for them both. EZ for life, baby!

Emma is back from a 10-day summer vacation and is giving you the full download on it all. Her and Zac started in Miami and made their way to Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Orlando, Jacksonville, Savannah, and Charleston and she, of course, has a million little memories and stories to share from each spot (including epic rollercoasters, amazing food, and stomach situations that will haunt her dreams forever). She also talks about finishing season 2 of Hacks in two sittings, the Anthony Bourdain documentary, and how she *finally* finished the book she’s been reading for two months! Sit back, relax, and enjoy this supersized episode.

After a 6-year hiatus from their original podcast, "2 Girls, 1 Closet," Emma is joined in her closet by her best friend and #1 confidante, Whitney. It's an hour of quick trips down memory lane, getting to know who Whitney is and why she is who she is, a million different side convos and, at the end of it all, just two best friends doing what they do best—chatting. We hope you love and enjoy this episode as much as we loved recording it! Links in show notes.
