Addictive Fun Simply Perfection!

As Clayton says, it’s so hard to find the right words in a review to make sure your doing one of your favorite podcasts justice. But what I can say is in a world of downers, this is an amazingly fun and uplifting podcast that makes you feel connected to a network of friends who love what you love without wild abandon! I love listening to these two wonderful humans chat in the most unapologetic way about one of my favorite slices of life. THANK YOU Erin and Clayton for this wonderful part of my week and to anyone who is considering diving in? DO IT! You won’t regret it ❤️❤️🔥
