  • My Favorite Podcast 🩷🖤

    I’ve followed Mrs. Angemi for years on IG and this podcast is something I look forward to every week! I love that they are a mother-daughter duo and how real and relatable they both are - it feels like I’m getting together to chat with close friends. My 15yo daughter wants to be a cop and she really loves listening too - it’s been great bonding with her over episodes!

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I swear this show has improved my mental health more than my therapist. Every episode feels like hanging out with my funniest, most unfiltered friends — You two are the perfect mix of chaos and comfort. If I’m lucky enough to grab dinner with you, I’ll bring dessert and at least three new inside jokes. 🥂
