287: episode 8: our hardest day on the show (so far)

Welcome to our second episode of the week to catch up with EPISODE 8! Episode 8 pushed us to another level. After an already emotional week, this episode forced us to dig deep, confront our breaking points, and show a level of vulnerability we hadn’t yet let surface. The DS stripped away anything we were still hiding, and what came out were some of the rawest, most honest moments we’ve had on the course. Tough, humbling, and a turning point in the whole experience. Let us know what you thought about this episode, and we’ll see you for the final time.... FOR FINALE EPISODE!!!!!!!
