Another month down, another Book Club book FINISHED and another is one the way! We finished October's ~mystery~ genre with reading A Good Girls Guide to Murder which was not a fan favorite starting out with a lot of people not that much into the mystery genre - but everyone ended up liking it!! Alexis even bought the 2nd book in the series and already finished it and will probably grab the 3rd too...

Alexis asked all of you to vote on different Fall THIS or THAT questions on the podcast instagram stories and brought them to Marissa to see which way she would vote - the girls talk updates on the book club (very exciting) along the way! ————————— follow us on Instagram —— • Non-Negotiable 🌻 // https://www.instagram.com/nonnegotiableforme   • Marissa 🌈 // ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/_muhrisah⁠⁠...

Marissa brings some of her Trek knowledge to the table today to start a discussion about JOBS. Alexis and Marissa have had different experiences working for different employers and weigh in on things they've learned, they've had to deal with, and what to take away from those terrible jobs while trying to find your seat on the bus (as if Marissa doesn't talk enough about busses). This quote plays a...

The girls sit down to talk a little about their (not well thought out) 5 year plans, goals they have, and what they'd like to spend their lives doing. Then asking themselves, what if they never reached those goals, did those things, or traveled to those places.....would you still be happy? This question stressed Alexis out a bit - rightfully so - but it was an important question Marissa asked hers...

Marissa thought this week's episode was going to be one of those "tough love" big sister episodes where she would yell at you to *stop worrying about what men think of you* but it actually turned into something much deeper...
