    With May being mental health awareness month, we wanted to have a raw conversation discussing our own struggles, the ugly side of healing, and personal self love journeys. In this episode, we used questions from the “we’re not really strangers” card game and had a lil serendipity session. This term is one we’ve used since we were little girls and created a safe space to speak candidly about whatever we needed. The good, the bad and everything in between. As we grew older, it became that much more vital to have these moments. Through having talks like these, we always left feeling empowered, validated and seen.
