It feels odd to start off the year talking about failure, but acknowledging and learning from your losses are important parts of realizing your wins. Listen as we talk life, love, and libation mistakes from the past year, what we’ve learned, and why it’s important to fail fast and move on.

All of a sudden you’re feeling completely distressed and while you know it's all in your head, you can’t seem to move past these overwhelming feelings of dread.

On this week’s episode, Ashley and Marcy talk awkward conversations. “So when are you going to give me a grandbaby?” “Looks like you’re picking up a little weight, huh?” “Where did your last boyfriend go?” “You still haven’t graduated?” Is it just us or are you also overwhelmed by people trying to engage you in the most uncomfortable of small talk?

On this week’s episode, Marcy and Ashley talk preconceived notions, judging a book by its cover, and fair warnings.
