Dec 12, 2025Lauren and Sarah catch up! This week's episode has no guests, but we were willing to step in. Living with your sister is like a constant share circle, late-night interview, and gossip sesh.
We talk life updates, Spotify Wrapped (Apple Music if you're Lauren 🫣), and love languages. Sometimes we don't make ourselves look good, but at least we're honest! Finally, we consider the foot pic selling industry and what traits we each inherited from our parents.
