On today’s episode we reveal the shocking truth: Bitches have feelings too. We have had a ton of our listeners reach out and ask us to do an episode on grief. Took a while for us to be ready to take this topic by the horns, but we finally did it. On this episode, you can get to know us a little better as we talk about our own personal experience with grieving. Don’t worry we give you some #ReplacementBehaviors to engage in other than crying on the bathroom floor. But hey, we get it. Sometimes a good cry on the bathroom floor is #NecessaryAF.
