Jealousy: Insecurity or Instinct
About this podcast
Two best friends showing up with honesty, humor, and a questionable amount of self-awareness.
This is the podcast where we grow, heal, laugh, cry, spiral, recover, and repeat. We talk about the messy parts of womanhood, the love stories, the heartbreaks, the mom life, the therapy breakthroughs, and the parts of womanhood that feel tender, messy, and too real to go through alone.
If you’re craving connection, comfort, a good laugh, or a friend group that feels like home, press play and stay awhile. We saved you a seat babe. 💖
