A month away, a world schooling adventure in Peru, and roughly one thousand bowls of ceviche later, Lauren is finally back. And honestly? We have a lot to catch up on. In this episode, we're hitting the reset button with a full reintroduction: who we are, why we started this show, and what makes Colorado Springs the city we just can't quit.

We're diving into rapid-fire Colorado Springs opinions: is Garden of the Gods a tourist trap or legitimately magical every time? Where do we take out-of-towners first? What's the best dish in town? Plus, we're sharing our perfect days in the Springs from morning coffee to late-night bites, the local hidden gems we can't stop talking about, and a few fun facts about this city that might just blow your mind.

Whether you're a Colorado Springs native, a transplant who never left, or someone who's been here long enough to feel like one, this episode is for you.
