The Alchemy
Description
After a few weeks away from podcasting, Sara and Laura are so excited to get back into the swing of things! They catch up on Laura’s adventures and the emotional challenges of Sara’s IVF journey, the importance of transparency, and the support of friends during difficult times. And, of course, Taylor’s surprise performance at Tight End University has the girls super thrilled that today’s episode is on “The Alchemy!” Between the football references and Travis Kelce’s admission that it’s one of his favorite songs, there’s romance swirling in this one! But, the ladies also theorize that this song might also be a confident announcement of Taylor’s return to her full stardom. This is a fun one, enjoy!
