Hey Everyone!!

In this episode we talk about unsolicited advice given to you whether you are single, married, or just going through life generally. We talk about the different stigmas that are around opinions and how it is really not people's opinions that should really weigh on you when most of them do not impact them. 

We hope you enjoy the conversation and like us on our social media platforms. Let us know how you handle people who give you unsolicited advice in life and the impact that it has on you!

Hey Everyone! 

We are back with our first official episode where we take a deep dive into something that we struggle with in our relationship and individually. The infamous people pleasing and reading the room, these two things are easy to brush under the rug but they are also things that have such a greater depth to them as well and we unpack them. We also find out our differences when it comes to Costco Samples..
