Relatable
So relatable! I especially like when I’m mentioned ;) lol.
Hilarious, relatable ladies!
Listen...I’m hooked. I needed a podcast that was just chill and funny. Claire and Jessica are so hilarious and real. Listening to this podcast is like having your friends over for wine and pizza and messy manicures, except without the extra calories and having to put on a bra and having to actually have the emotional fortitude to get through a conversation. As a jaded and anxious 30-something, I feel seen. Can’t wait for more episodes!
