6: Should I Break Up With My Ex (ercise)?

First episode we ever recorded talking about why we were inspired to record a podcast together and how we were influenced by Glennon Doyle’s Untamed.

In our final episode of the season we talk about what inspired us to start our podcast in the first place-a book by Glennon Doyle called Untamed. We also share some surprising life and podcast updates with you! P.S. We recognize that it is a somewhat controversial book so don't let that scare you off from listening.  P.P.S. As always our audio is a work in progress! Apologies for all the glitches and muffled noise on this episode (you will find out at the beginning why it was particularly different today).  Support us: Follow us on IG Visit our website Links: Untamed from SLC local bookstore (Kings English) Untamed Journal from SLC local bookstore (Kings English) Untamed on Amazon Inner Child Work Intro
