Jenn and I discuss our personal battles with gaining confidence and learning to love ourselves. It’s a fun listen for all :) *This episode is “PG”, because of language. Also I apologize for the poor audio quality and volume; Jenn and I recorded from two different locations.

One of my closest friends and I discuss the ins and outs of friendship in terms of deep vs shallow, technology, our own issues, and what friendship really means to us. It’s a fun conversation on a universal topic. No matter what age you are, you can definitely relate.

I bring two of my friends, Payton and Alyssa, on for a lighthearted conversation on how we have fun as teens in 2020. We joke/talk about having clean fun, keeping trust with our parents, going out, and avoiding trouble as we try to live our best lives.
