Our hope is that through our oversharing and banter on different subjects, we keep you entertained, but also grounded in the fact that no one knows what the hell they’re doing... even the ones who seem to have it all together. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, and we’ll share our different perspectives on topics that are heavy and topics that are light. We can probably keep you from making some major mistakes of your own if you look at our collective pasts.

In this episode we dive into a little bit about ourselves, and what you can expect from this podcast. This is our first episode EVER, so be gentle with us. In this episode we also cover some of our different circumstances throughout the COVID-19 shutdown, including Jaclyn's layoff and personal growth journey, as well as Chantel's chaotic experience in trying to juggle a busy career working from home while teaching her son (who makes a Cameo in the episode!) and maintaining the household.  We get into why this has been such a collective grieving experience for all, including those of us who are fixers and obviously cannot do anything to fix our current situation. We'll dive into some of the pros and cons of both being co-dependent (Jaclyn) and being too independent (Chantel), and what that means in a relationship.  Later in the episode, we'll talk about DICK PICS! Do we like them? Are they ever ok? What are the boundaries? Has Chantel ever sent nudes? Are Jaclyn's nudes on porn website somewhere? You'll have to listen to find out! Thanks for joining us as we try our best to navigate a world where no one know what fucking day it is. @justchattingpod on Insta --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
