Crying Laughing

What happens when two introverted social media professionals are stuck in the same windowless office together? A bond tighter than Lizzo’s lyrics and your Madewell jeans after too many chickpea puffs. Listen to Tori and Lanie rant about life as a social media manager, all things enneagram and horoscope related, being dog moms and wives, pop culture, and everything that they deem aesthetically pleasing or having a feel good vibe every Tuesday. Welcome to your weekly dose of positivi-tea with a little weirdness sprinkled on top. Disclaimer: we crack ourselves up.
