Sarah opens up about being made redundant last year and how it shaped her journey, while Sam shares an awkward recurring encounter with her delivery person that just keeps getting weirder. And to top it all off, Sarah has a full-blown menty b (mental breakdown) over Schitt’s Creek quotes

Episode 4: nothing new | highs & lows, school mum confessions, identity crises & stories from the archives
Last week was heavy so we kick off this episode with a weekly highlight/lowlight (chaotic, obviously) - Sam got in a scrap with an older lady before we then spiral into reminiscing about our early 20s and the questionable choices we made. From school mum life to suddenly loving whatever our partners love (Did someone say PGA/LIV drama?) it's a ride!
