It's March and spring is in the air! Listen in as we discuss all things fitness & diet (and also get the scoop on what we care about and don't care about when it comes to staying healthy). We  chat about this month's book club, a sexy Rumplestiltskin retelling: Gilded by Marissa Meyer. Did we love it? Hate it? Feel like Ms. Meyer has written better fairytale retellings? You'll have to check out this episode to find out. And of course, we end our episode with some fantastic AITA scenarios, one of which takes us down a rabbit hole discussion about traveling with friends. Enjoy & happy spring y'all!

Happy New Weird, we mean, Year! We go in depth about our wonky, wompy start to 2022 and how the you-know-what caught up to us. We delve into the very different-than-our-usual book club pick: The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle (Spoiler: it’s a page turner but with some questionable caveats). And we deal with some double-you-tee-eff AITAs! It’s a long one but oh so good. Join us for next month’s book club as we dial in the romcom with The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon.

Deck the pod with us as we dive full on festive for our favorite time of the year!
