This week, Kate explores crying as self-care, takes a grounding bath, and shares her favorite recipes for meal trains. Doree masters her dog training schedule and Google Keep, continues her closet purge, and shares her new love for powder dip manicures.

Then they welcome writer, podcaster, and educator, Ashley C. Ford, who discusses love as the driving force for survival, being more open about her feelings, self-love, the benefits of couples therapy, and her recent wedding.

We’re going to SXSW this year! Find more info about our appearances here.
