    39. We Are Becoming

    39. We Are Becoming

    WE’RE BACK! In this episode we reflect on the past two years since we released season 1 episode 19 (finale), through the same newsletter from Brianna Wiest, A Letter From Your Future. The theme for season 3, “We are Becoming”, was inspired by this newsletter. We realize that we will never be fully together, we will always be in a state of “becoming”. We ‘ve missed y’all and we hope you enjoy this episode of what is to come this season.
