  • Makes my Week

    This podcast truly makes my week. It warms my heart and makes me laugh out loud. There is nothing better. If you love 90s pop-culture, boy bands and if you are a proud elder-millennial, this pod is for you! My weekly reminder that it’s ok to be dumb and busy and that life is about the accumulation of memories!
