Well, folks, here it is: the holiday special absolutely no one asked for, but hey, it's the season for giving, regardless. Weeelcome back to a very special episode of How It's Goin' podcast. I have my three bestie girls on the mic with me this wintry night discussing everything from holiday traditions to our hot takes of 2020. Have a seat, grab some hot cocoa and listen up as we learn what Christmas movie character we are via Buzzfeed quiz, play 'guess that holiday tune' featuring some very gifted musical stylings, rate our secret Santa gifts and more! As always, thanks for listening and have a holly jolly holiday season, y'all!

Hi guys! Welcome back to another episode of How It’s Goin’ special guest edition! It’s a loooong one, folks (hold the applause). This week we dial in with dancer Gabee Benson coming to us all the way from Los Angeles, California. Gabee takes us through the ups and downs of quarantine, her experience with the Disney college program, competing at World of Dance, working at the Millennium Dance Complex, moving to LA, building her foundation in the professional dance industry, celeb encounters (may or may not involve Ariana Grande), finding confidence, audition tips, staying optimistic during COVID, the tea on dating and her stance on social justice issues. Whew, I know, buckle in kids. We had so much fun recording and hope you enjoy the episode!

Hi guys! This week we have our first remote guest call in to the pod, my good friend Blake Carlson. Blake and I are both working from home due to the COVID-19 breakout & social distancing, so we are giving you some tips and insights on our experiences so far in case it can help anyone else out who might be dealing with the same thing. Even if you're not working from home currently, I think you'll still love Blake's personality and find us quite the entertaining duo :) Give it a listen and decide for yourself; enjoy! :)
