This week, we're talking about divorce, money struggles, and the growth that comes after the broke years. Jade tells the story of putting an ad in the newspaper just to divorce a man she could not find, and Jocelyn relives the car that started smoking at the bank right before the wheels quite literally fell off. We get into friends who lie to your face, listening the first time instead of learning the hard way, why this podcast exists, and the childhood cake story Jocelyn never planned to tell. Whether you're navigating a fresh start, a job you are ready to leave, or a good cry you have been holding in, this episode will feel like sitting with two friends who truly get it. New episodes every Wednesday. Follow the podcast everywhere you listen.
