Today, Kristina and Kelci talk about certain chapters of their life that shaped who they are today - chapters that they miss so so much, but they know they are just memories now, and memories that they can’t go back to, but will cherish forever.

What is one lie you tell yourself? Either daily, weekly…monthly….maybe you think you don’t lie to yourself at all - but the truth is we all do it. Today, Kelci and Kristina dive into this topic and discuss the small lies we tell ourselves all the time - such as, If I had X, my life would be better - or, If I was in this type of relationship my life would be easier. We all do it. Its natural - and today K & K talk about the lies they tell themselves and how they try to bring themselves back from it. Grab a glass of wine, and let’s dive in!
