[Watch the episode here] This week, it’s part life update, part deep dive (because we always end up going there). One of us has been a total Debbie, the other a full Karen lately, but we owned it, laughed about it, and unpacked what’s really been going on.We ponder philosophically: Are we living or just existing? How do we know the difference? Plus, Tully shares why she’s officially boycotting a certain place after what they did recently (spoiler: she’s fired up and salty).It’s real, it’s honest, and it’s the kind of unfiltered conversation that makes it feel like you’re having a conversation with your best friends.
