Ep. 84: An Update On Our Lives

Sometimes ya’ll, we just need to take a moment and to just be. That’s what we’re doing in today’s episode. We are settling down for a moment and checking in on our lives and seeing how you are doing in this place we call Earth. It’s been a minute since we have our separation in real life so we’re going to just be today. Sit back, relax, and let’s chill. In this episode we chat about: * Our kids and how fast time is flying by * If you had the choice to stay at home, would you feel more impactful for being in your child’s life in their teen years or early in their developmental years * How cancel culture becoming a silencer and not allowing us to be true to who we are .........................................................................................................
