8.1 Room by Room: Introduction

No, we haven't lost our minds, and no, you haven't lost yours. We had to pause Season 7 due to life circumstances and switch to a topic that required no guests. We want several women to join us for Season 7, but life is just too unsettled at the moment. We're hoping to pick season 7 up later this year. For now, we're going to talk about Function, Order, and Beauty in the different rooms of the house. (We apologize for the lack of show notes.)
