Apple Podcasts5Zealand NewUnited States5 months ago - My favorite
I love this podcast so much! I seriously adore these two women and I love how they love each other. There are very few podcasts that make me belly laugh like this one does and in a climate where there is so much to be sad and scared about, the things that bring joy are so precious. Thanks for sharing your awesome personalities and friendship with the world. Let the sun shine in or whatever Nicole said!
