Life Changes, The Crash & Off Campus

In this week's episode, Alicia shares something "life changing" that happened over the weekend, which she couldn't wait to tell Ana about, while Ana found herself almost doing an "Irish exit" in her own home...  For this week's Chatter's Choice, there are two majorly different picks that must be discussed! Starting with "The Crash" on Netflix, the true-crime documentary that has the group on fire in the comments! Alicia has followed the case behind the documentary for a few years, and shares her thoughts on the whole thing.

Mother's Day, Sequels, & Shadow Daddy

First and foremost, thank you for the overwhelmingly kind response to last week's emotional episode. It was a personal and heavy one, but this community continues to shine with love and respect, thank you.  This week, Ana and Alicia acknowledge the mixed emotions associated with Mother's Day. While it's important to celebrate mothers and mother figures, it's also important to recognize those who experience grief during this time. And also, a conversation about how it's okay for moms to be selfish!  Plus, is the podcast taking a trip soon? And how do we feel about the 20-year-old movie sequels? And spoiler alert for book club: Alicia is all in with "Fourth Wing" and shares her reactions and thoughts on chapters 1-18! For those who aren't interested in "Fourth Wing" or have already read it, Ana is also starting a new book this week for a simultaneous book club!  STAY IN TOUCH!  Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/anasgroupchat⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/anasgroupchat] Facebook Group: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1cDVxSHnND/⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1cDVxSHnND/] Ana's Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/anaszabo13/⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/anaszabo13/] Alicia's Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/aliciadawn333/⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/aliciadawn333/] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].
