    Well, your fave duo is at it again. You know they don’t hold back. MJ is social distancing in the bedroom and admits she is not with some of the gender roles that have been placed upon her during these times.

The theme remains the same, “Until we get by, I’m on your side. I’ll be your shoulder through the rough waters...”

💕✨⭐️Just what I needed 💕✨⭐️

Don’t even know where to begin. I have been binge listening to all of season 1 and waiting on baited breath on new episodes for season 2. This podcast means so much to me words can’t explain. While I am not diagnosed with or survived cancer, I am dealing with health issues that require indefinite treatment, medications and the use of catheters. The way that MJ gracefully and candidly shares her personal and sometimes very intimate details of her journey is amazing and inspiring all in one. I love Dani’s trini-nyc realness and also her struggles with being single and looking for love. Dani and MJ are each other’s ying and yang and o absolutely love it. I feel like I’m at the table sipping cocktails right along with these lovely ladies. Keep the good content coming and subscribe folks!
