This week, we're bringing you a bit of a different solo episode. While we pride ourselves on always being authentic, we feel like we have lacked our connection with our community the past year.

We debated posting this episode, but after coming to the conclusion that the health and wellness space needs more authenticity, we felt it was necessary. We're hoping to share more of our struggles to show 1. Our human-ness and 2. Hopefully make you realize that you're not alone.
