Welcome back to Joke’s On Us and HAPPY PRIDE!! For this month’s episode, and to commemorate the beauty and magic that is Pride month, co-host Kelsey sits down with model, behavioral therapist and LGBTQ+ community member Dan Scags to discuss all things Pride. We chat about Dan’s coming out story (it's juicy), favorite Pride memories (they're sweet), and poke a little fun at Madonna (we couldn’t help ourselves), all over a few glasses of wine.

Thanks as always for being here, plus an extra special shout out to our listeners who identify as LGBTQIA+  we love you! Grab yourself a glass of wine (or seven, we’ll never tell) and enjoy this month’s episode of Joke’s On Us. See you in July!

With Niki on a brief vacation, co-host Kelsey sits you down for the pep talk you didn't realize you need .... but you do! Main themes are career mindsets and how to shift them, how to plan out your goals for 2021 the right way, how to manifest everything you want for this year and more. Through personal anecdotes, Kelsey describes how she took all the bad energy out of 2020 and channeled it into forcing a better 2021. (Spoiler alert: it worked! And it can for you too.)

As always, grab a (big) glass of wine (trust us, you'll need it), sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of Joke's On Us.
