In our first episode of 2023, Reba talks about improving the quality of her relationship with her husband in the new year. She discusses a book called The Love Prescription: Seven Days to More Intimacy, Connection, and Joy by John Gottman & Julie Schwartz Gottman and how she's been incorporating it in her marriage and if she's seen any results.
We're BACK, bitches!
Welcome back for Season Three!! In this episode, we tackle the topic that's on everyone's minds in the new year: FOOD! More specifically, clean eating.
How do we get started? What do we do to stay on track and motivated? Meghann and Reba discuss their tried and true tips and tricks for starting and maintaining a healthy diet that works for YOU. Not that Instagram influencer.
