WELCOME TO SEASON 2 BABY! The girls are back and better after a too-long hiatus (Senior year is busier than they thought). As always, the Bucketlist For Babes starts off the episode -- go on a trip with your friends! In Wifeys Weekly Words, Sari and Laura talk about respecting your friends and yourself in friendships even when it's not easy. There's just so much to say about vulnerability in friendships! Love, Lust, or Lie is about distinguishing ego versus love or affection in relationships and situation-ships. Is it your heart being affected or is it your ego? This week's song theme is 'Songs that remind you of a fling you have good memories of'.
Laura and Sari are back after a few weeks of grinding in school to spill all their updates and more. In Bucketlist for Babes, the girls push for everyone to have a talk with their group of friends and 'go deep.' This leads them to Wifeys' Weekly Words, where they talk about what it means to invalidate someone's feelings and how to be supportive instead. In Love, Lust, or Lie, Laura and Sari talk about pretty privilege and what happens if a man or a woman never went through their 'ugly phase.' The songs of the week are 'Who Says' by Selena Gomez and 'Follow Your Arrow' by Kacey Musgraves.
