  • The Pursuit of Health, Pt. 1

    Today we are diving into a complex topic - Health. We discuss our health journeys, what health means to us, what we have learned over the years and acknowledge that health is always a work in progress.

Later on in the episode, we list out our favorite resources that have helped us in our journeys thus far. We'll see you back next week for Part 2 of this Health Series.

    As always, we started out this episode with our highs and lows and naturally we had to talk about our favorite and least favorite spooky movies/series that we watched this Halloween. Alexa also shares big career news!
