LOVE this podcast so much! Rachel and Olivia are naturals at this and I would literally listen to them ramble on about anything! One of the best parts are have they the most interesting guests, even if they might not be someone I would normally listen to, they make me glad I did! This is one podcast I look forward to every week! ❤️
Like a good hang with your girls

I like the variety of topics discussed from episode to episode. It’s always interesting to see where the conversation will end up and the laughs along the way. I especially love how Olivia asks the questions I want to know. She takes the show beyond a basic interview and gives us a chance to learn more about the guests on a deeper level.
