Rent Free Roommates

We're more than a little embarrassed that we're getting this episode to you later than planned, but we're far from alone. We're piling on the secondhand embarrassment with a handful of stories from very brave roomies that were so vulnerable and made it through some tough situations. Hopefully they're laughing as hard as Abi and Bri are. We're laughing with you, never at you! love yoooouuuuus! And Happy New Year!

Well, times are hard but that's what we have things like looking way too in depth into the realism of Home Alone for. We love escapism! This week we hear from two roomies who are struggling in their oen ways, but both are all too familiar to the girls. That's what we're here for though, right? To relate and commiserate, but mostly to support one another.

This week Bri and Abi air out some of their own issues between emails and giving advice they should probably take themselves. They're not fighting, it's just conversing emphatically.

Between tangents of excitement for spooky season, Bri and Abi are talking family issues and just catching up on life with the roomies this week. Quick question, would you let someone who just bought a tattoo gun off of amazon on a whim tattoo you? Let us know! Hypothetically. For legal reasons we have to make sure you know, no person on this podcast will actually be tattooing anyone. . . . .Abi. Says Bri.

This week's episode is really pulling back the curtain, laying it all out on the table, not holding back. This is real this is me, as Bri would say. From a widely relatable roomie story to one we wish wasn't so relatable but we know so many people are effected by this type of situation. The girls are h...

"Yo Stacy! Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me baby!"

(name that movie, but don't tell Abi) 

Lots of miscommunication in the air this week! Same problem different font? Just so happens the theme this episode is communication, or lack thereof. It's annoying to not get a timely response but when is it worth pursuing? That's what Abi and Bri are hoping to help these roomies figure out.
