Hi clubbers!! It's been a minute!

Anna and I are doing some restructuring in order to make more in depth and dynamic episodes so we are moving to 2 episodes a month instead of 4. We hope that by doing this we get to dive deeper into the books and topics!

This months book I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy was vulnerable, harrowing, and inspiring all at the same time! Highly recommend to anyone doing some work around healing and self actualization.

check out our insta to vote for December's book at @OutesBookClub !!

Hey Clubbers,

This book is phenomenal. I would say we are at a loss for words but we had a lot to say in this episode. If you're looking for a book that has the potential to change your life and your perspective on love/sacrifice while simultaneously giving you a new insight on WW2 RUN to the bookstore and take this baby home! It speaks for itself......

Hi Clubbers,

This one has the juice! We talk about navigating friendship in our early 20s as well as the importance of being introspective. Living in extremes is tiring and you can find balance with a little self refection. Anyone else feel particularly ragey this week......lol!

Happy Monday Clubbers!

Hope this episode finds you well because Anna and I were enjoying our deliriousness and it reflects in our conversations. We talk about keeping promises to yourself, how to approach negative thought patterns with the practical tool of a morning journal session. And obviously we talk about books and snorkeling and the ambience at Hudson House/Dickies BBQ.

.....I dont want to spoil too much so just give it a listen, it's definitely a ride this week.

Hey Clubbers,

Virginia and I were all over the place in this Episode! We discussed the power of being a little delusional in order to reach your goals as well as feeling your feelings all the way through. It doesn't matter if those feelings are pure anger or insurmountable joy...set them freeeeee!
