The Power of Saying Yes
After completing the Big 5 run in South Africa, a very sore Gemma came straight to Jackie’s from the airport to unpack not just the run itself but what she’s learned about herself. The besties then talk determination, mental strength, and their battles with their bodies over the years. Plus, after an interesting weekend apart from Gem, Jackie is now a new woman with new hobbies, a new outlook on life and a newfound desire to… cook?

Our first live show (Ft. Gemma’s boyfriend Scott!)
Jackie and Gemma were joined by 250 of you lovely listeners for their first live show last week, and it was a night to remember! Before everybody started partying too hard, the girls recorded a live episode featuring SOME icks from Gemma’s boyfriend Scott, questions from the audience and an emotional letter that had everybody crying. The evening was raising vital funds for brain cancer research ahead of Gemma’s Big 5 Run in South Africa, which you can donate to here: https://cb4bc.grassrootz.com/big-5-marathon/gemma-oneill?fbclid=IwY2xjawJrun5leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHrfw54JMTItcqORUTvpO1hevmEQZQg6txfeOUzw6vVfZ7MUU9Kat3qdcS4Un_aem_aOv_8YLf5DcZb4DiEA3tYg Follow us @wearebestiesofficial Check out the Red Flag Project, and the Negotiation Power course here https://www.wearebesties.com/courses Episodes each WednesdaySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
