Blue Cheese Tastes Like Feet and Other Household Truths

Shaunie thinks she's not the main character. Keion has receipts. Go to https://baskandlatherco.com and use code SHAUNIE for 20% off. In this episode, Keion and Shaunie get into what "main character syndrome" actually looks like — and whether we're all a little guilty of it in a world that tells us to center ourselves 24/7. The conversation goes everywhere: why Shaunie bristles at "my truth," how Keion handles people who always need to be seen, and why Shaunie would rather hide in a corner blowing bubbles with a baby than work a room. They also get real about: - Raising five kids without inflating their egos (and when to tell your kid baseball just isn't it) - Why Shaunie takes two years to exchange a phone number - Servant leadership, airport wallets, and talking to strangers - The difference between letting someone in your space vs. your heart - Blue cheese vs. beets (a real debate breaks out) It's one of those conversations that starts light and ends somewhere honest.
