In Episode 18, we share the latest update on our dream home plans, including something Kate has wanted for years for and is the perfect birthday gift. Now we just need those permits to cooperate. A perfectly timed call from a 73-year-old creative weirdo reminds us of something we all need to hear: you’re okay. We also discuss why we left LA and whether the pros of living in Hawaii outweigh the cons. Inspired by the aloha spirit, we’re dreaming up ways to help families impacted by the recent flooding and wondering: which YouTubers should we recruit to join the cause? Our Creative Sparks this week are all about adding a little more whimsy to everyday life. From Patch Summer, where adventures earn you embroidered badges, to the return of good old-fashioned snail mail. Tess skipped the book and dating updates this week because she was too busy living her best Vegas life at a Hilary Duff concert and chatting about books at the club. But if you know any historically accurate romantasy novels, send your recommendations Kate’s way. And stay tuned for next week’s episode because Tess will finally be joining us in Hawaii, in person, where two eligible bachelors may or may not be waiting for her…Patch Summer: tiktok.com/t/ZTByhvPAN/Proud of You Newsletter: https://proudofyou.club/products/proud-of-you-mail-club-u-sSong of Achilles: https://amzn.to/43RFmII If you like this podcast, please follow and leave us a five star review!
