    Hi besties, it’s been a minute! After taking a little break from the pod, I’m back discussing alllll my feelings on having kids.

    6. Celebrating, Reflecting, Turning 26

    Virgos rise, it’s (almost) my birthday!!! 🎂 And to celebrate I’m reflecting on 26 things I’ve learned before turning 26. I talk about how I’ve learned to love being dramatic, people pleasing is a form of self harm, and that being in your mid 20’s actually just feels like puberty all over again. If you’d like to give me a free birthday gift, please share the pod with a friend! Comment and let me know what the biggest thing you’ve learned in your 20’s is. 🤔
