Hey friend! Welcome back to the Laundry Room, I'm so glad you're here. In this episode, I chat with my old work-twin, Christine. She opens up about advocating for her child as they explore their identity, getting to know her own inner child, and we talk about the importance of emotional connection through “hearts not parts”. Also, she got me thinking I might need to freshen up my old modeling portfolio, honey. Words of affirmation are my love language and the Pisces in her delivered them to the Libra in me. You can find Christine and her hustles on IG at @christinedco and @checklistmaids, and on the web at www.christinedco.com By the way — have you told a friend to listen to my podcast? I would greatly appreciate it. Love you, byyyyeeeeee!!! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/laundryroominations/support

Before you come for me -- I forgot to put my headphones on and there are some issues with sound quality. I went to youtube university and learned how to reduce some of the echo, but I am an imperfect person. Anyway, welcome back to the Laundy Room, fam!

If you and your little cutie want some matching press-on nails, check out Fendi's bonus daughter's page on IG at @imcuteworldwide and at www.imcuteworldwide.com.
