About this episode

 Beep beep delivery! Step aside because the mail truck is backing up into the podcast booth this week, babyyyyy. This week, Steph and Mel answer your questions once again. Responding to e-mails about everything from dance to secret animosity in friendships, budgeting on a tight income and biohacking (ew?), the ladies riff about thrift store addictions, high-yield savings accounts, bad friends and more. Join us and let us know if you think we should secretly infiltrate a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders training workshop, if you agree that Chat GPT is D-U-M-B DUMB and whether you’ll join listener “B” in her Gratitude Hard project.
