Meal Prep Tips & Tricks

This week we are finishing up the podcast with a chat about our experience, our favourite moments, favourite episodes and random stuff. We also decided to do this one raw, with no edits so you can do a drinking game around how many times Bec says "um" and loses track of her thoughts and Tara says "so..." and bumps her mic.
