Today we get the best news ever--there's someone in Sarah's life who is getting her motor running, and we are HERE FOR IT! She tells us how they met (on Brain Candy!), why they're connecting on a deep level, and why she is so optimistic even though they've never met in real life. We discuss divine feminine energy, and why Sarah said she hid her softer side for so long. She also tells us why you should never throw your pet goldfish in a lake (which seems obvious, but apparently a lot of people don't know this?). Just so we're clear, you shouldn't throw ANY of your pets into lakes. We revisit the strange phenomenon of all of Sarah's pets prematurely dying. Plus, we discuss the Simone Biles Olympics story, the importance of mental health, and why we have a long way to go.
