    Alright, TNSB crew, buckle up because this week we’re diving into something that's been on everyone's mind but nobody’s talking about – the swipe life.

I’m sitting down with a special guest who’s gonna spill the tea on why these apps might be killing your vibe and how to break free from the swipe cycle.

It was a pleasure to be featured!

Joshua is a delight. We had some technical difficulties which got us started on the right foot laughing about the challenges life throws at us. He's laid back, easy to talk to and a delight to be interviewed by.

Kai Bobbi ,

Yes!

I’m here for it! I checked out the Let’s Get Naked P1 episode with Philip and Andrew and loved it! Thanks y’all for your vulnerability. We need more of this. As a non-binary AMAB person I felt the clothes wear comparison. Got me all in me feels. I like whoever brought up valuing the success of being closer to your truer self vs measuring your success through status / through the lens of others. Great show! Excellent chat. Thanks for sharing!
