Lorra found herself feeling lonely on Christmas when she stumbled upon a TikTok video suggesting that people could send holiday wishes to inmates. On a whim, she created a profile and sent a heartfelt "Merry Christmas" to a cellmate. Little did she know, that small gesture would change her life forever.
As they began to communicate, a deep connection blossomed between them. Their conversations grew more meaningful, and before long, he proposed to her. They exchanged vows in a prison ceremony, marking the beginning of their unconventional love story.
Despite the challenges of never having been intimate or experienced life outside prison together, their bond has only deepened. It’s a fascinating tale of love, resilience, and hope—proving that connection can thrive even in the most unexpected circumstances. I’d love to hear more about their journey and the dreams they hold for the future!

Should your job define who you are? Is the "always-on" mindset really the key to success, or is it burning us out?

In this episode, we dive into the contrasting perspectives on love, relationships, and the pressures society places on our choices. Julia opens up about her lifelong dream of marrying the love of her life and living a simple, fulfilling life. But lately, she’s felt conflicted by the growing narrative that suggests women shouldn't need a man, making her question whether her desires are valid. She’s always been someone who cherishes love, picturing her wedding since childhood, but these messages sometimes leave her feeling unsure.
On the flip side, Alexis shares her take, offering a different viewpoint. Unlike Julia, Alexis never really envisioned her wedding or focused much on finding a husband, giving us two unique perspectives on what love and life can look like.
We also delve into the fun topic of being demure versus being a brat. Julia is thrilled that being demure is trending, as it perfectly describes her personality, while Alexis proudly owns her bratty side.
We hope you enjoy this episode as we explore these themes with honesty and humor!
