Customer Reviews
Dont let people bully you with their own insecurities
Loved Ashley’s story about her struggle to decide to live in her car and eventually build a tiny home. (Fear episode)
Other people try to use their power over us to validate their own insecurities, and the story about her being afraid of being judged as poor, but doing so anyway bc it worked best for HER was so impactful. Especially bc it shows how we look down on and SHAME those in poverty. Don’t let garbage people push their own shame and discomfort onto you.
Just bc something doesn’t work for you doesn’t mean it won’t work for someone else. And I wish we would stop thinking that one way is the only correct way to do things. Keep speaking your truth and having these conversations so we can learn to live with different pov’s (as long as they dont hurt other people).
Love these funny honeys!
This show is so good! All their topics are really interesting and the way they discuss everything is hilarious and conversational. I feel like I’m just sitting in the room with them and sometimes I want to jump in with some comments too. The advice part at the end is one of my favorite parts too. I highly recommend!!
Nicely done
Love the sisterhood dynamic! Keep doing what y’all do and continue to keep it real
