Money Changes Everything - Are you a spendaholic?

Meghan and Jen chat about money (sweet!) and their relationships with money (barf). They talk about spending, budgeting and debt, why credit cards are evil, how 12 step programs can help, and how all of those things make different people feel (breathe).

AND Jen pulls out a pop-quiz to find out if she and Meghan are compulsive spenders/debtors! They both got the same score BTW - tune in to find out what that was, and whether or not (how urgently) they need an intervention.

Meghan and Jennifer June talk about the pros and cons of journaling, and take a quick trip down memory lane, reading from diaries that go back as early as to when Meghan was 6 years old. 

We talk journaling styles, from Julia Cameron’s morning pages, to Tim Ferriss’s 5 minute journaling, and the bullet journal craze. 

We talk childhood crushes, teenage regret, mother abuse and plotting murder.

Jen reveals the darkest side of her 12 year old self, and Meghan accidentally unpacks what might just be the reason why she was  bullied as a child. *cough* *laminates autographs from horse handlers for the Budweiser horse team* *cough cough*

Meghan and Jennifer June chat with StandUp Comic and writer, Darren Henwood, about  comedy, customer service and  the eternal quest for happiness.

Also,  Jen makes Darren say something serious for a minute.

We talk about self-doubt,  justifying joy, and about why comics often find telling all to a room full of strangers, from the safety of the  stage, so much easier than opening up to those we actually love and trust.

We hope you love listening to this episode as much as we loved recording it.

Hailing originally from Scotland , Darren Henwood has been bringing his lively and energetic comedic perspective to the stages of Canada since 2010. On stage Darren reveals hilarious true stories from his own life along with imparting a Scotsman's perception of North American culture during his sets. He uses quick witted sarcasm and an array of comedic taunts to put audiences in hilarious and sometimes uncomfortable situations while keeping them on the edge of their seats.
