Season 1 / Episode 1: Genesis
Released August 15, 2018
Why We Love It
Caroline: This is the original episode, where it all started. I was so nervous when we hit that record button the first time. I had no idea what we were about to create and I love listening to it again to reminisce about how we met, how this project started and how far we have come. I'm proud of our mutual commitment to each other and to making this project happen, week after week.Meaghan: I love that Caroline didn't say "no" to my crazy idea! I was also super grateful for the rad equipment we had for our pilot. It was really impressive to me how easily we "worked" together. We were in total alignment and I was buzzing with excitement, not prosecco![soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/485673342" params="color=#ff3366&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]

Released August 15, 2018
Why We Love It
Caroline: I love this episode because it's hilarious. Especially the realization I have at about 6:10...Meaghan: This is so great. It's packed with good info and it's BEYOND funny. At least I think so.[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/488141691" params="color=#ff3366&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]
Season 2 / Episode 13: Back to Business, Personal & Business Strategies for Social Media
Released November 6, 2018
Why We Love It
Caroline: Not gonna lie, I don't love this episode. I think I was drinking wine when we recorded it, so I'm on the slow train getting my thoughts out. But sober Meaghan is on point. The real reason it's on this list is that it was the most popular episode of the year with 537 listeners at last count.Meaghan: Stoked on this one because Caroline lead the way for me to share some cool insights about the 'gram! Also, why don't I have more followers?[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/525921900" params="color=#ff3366&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]
Season 2 / Episode 18: Productivity and Social Media
Released December 4, 2018
Why We Love It
Caroline: I love it because it's a manifestation of Meaghan's strategy for growing her business using social media, her commitment to it, her discipline in execution and her passion for sharing her knowledge with and helping others. Love you boo, proud of you.Meaghan: Digital strategist, Caroline was for sure the inspiration for this episode for me. When you roll with her, you better come correct, Honey! I hope I did.[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/540711168" params="color=#ff3366&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]
Season 2 / Episode 20: Minimalism, Christmas and Advertising
Released December 18, 2018
Why We Love It
Caroline: While it's not the best sound quality (I was abroad when we recorded it and it was hard to remote calibrate the voice tracks with my road equipment), I love this episode because it's hilarious. We are 100% authentic, opening up about a hectic yet blissful time of year, and having a blast doing it. As a bonus, count the times we make the use of a version of the word "practical"...Meaghan: I had the realization after re-listening to this episode that I sound like the life of the party. >>sarcasm<< I am who I am kids: just a girl with ugly luggage who loves to save money. And I'm more than OK with her.[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/543050055" params="color=#ff3366&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]
