Hi,

This is Lauren. I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support for this podcast over the past couple of years. Deciding to end the podcast was not an easy or quick decision, but it felt like it was time.

I am proud and believe in each of you. Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey and continue to eat that f*cking food <3

My DM's will always be open, xxoo.
