Barely Sophisticated

To celebrate our LAST EPISODE of Season 1 we are drinking margaritas and answering some of the questions our listeners have sent in throughout the season. We wanted to keep it fun and let you all know how much we appreciate the support. We will take a short (maybe long) hiatus before returning back for Season 2. Again, we want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone that listened, shared, and supported along the way. This has been so much fun and we couldn't have done it without our listeners. That said, make sure to follow our instagram @barely.sophisticated for updates on season 2, if you want to be on the podcast you can reach out to us there as well.

Is there a link? This week the gals are very creeped out after watching The Social Dilemma and thought it would be perfect to discuss the affects social media has on mental health. We all know that social media has helped everyone stay connected throughout the isolation of Covid, and can be a very good tool for making new friends and raising awareness on important issues. But, on the other hand, it can also lead to feeling more isolated, inadequate, and in some cases play a heavy role in depression and anxiety. Tune in to hear our take on how we deal with the negative aspects social media can bring. As always, thank you all so much for the support!

Figuring out what's right for you... This week the gals talk about their differing experiences with college and careers. We are very excited to dive into a topic we really wanted to get into when we started this podcast, while you still get to learn more about who we are! Tune in to hear about the different situations we faced when Brooke went to college after high school while also balancing work and Jenni went straight into the workforce.
