  • What’s in a name?

    When our name is attached to something, we struggle to let it go. From souvenir shop stickers to rings that carry our initials to t-shirts given to us for Valentine’s Day in 1995 by the grandparents who gave us our family names, we keep things around with our personal labels. To kick off season 2, hosts Jacki, Lana and Courtney get inspired by the things special guest Katie Michels has kept over the years.

Swag t-shirts turn into pajamas, friends’ skirts turn into our cool “vintage” thing we only wear once. But then we end up with stuffed drawers and sad closet floors. In this episode Jacki, Lana and Courtney talk about the free stuff they still have.
