This is pretty crazy to think about! Marriage can be amazing but like any relationship, it can also be very challenging. Divorce is all too common but Holly & Mischa feel that when it comes to their marriages, divorce isn't an option (as naive as that probably sounds to some of you all). Aside from the stress of it, divorce can also be expensive and it takes an average of 12 months to finalize!

    Although most people know the divorce rate in the U.S. is around 50%, many people can't help themselves from saying “I do”. There are plenty of reasons why people still practice this age-old tradition; whether it be for love, convenience (whatever that means), tax/financial purposes, or even pregnancy (we've all heard about shotgun weddings). Although Holly was a child of divorce, she has been happily married for five and a half years. And Mischa, who is a soon-to-be bride, hopes to follow in her parents' footsteps since they had a beautiful 30+ year marriage.  By now you should know that Holly and Mischa are both hopeless romantics, but they're not disillusioned from the realities of marriage and divorce. Join these two brides as they vow to give you an amazing episode about everything from arranged marriage to the infamous TV show “The Bachelorette”. And make sure you come back next week for part II, where they dive more into the realms of divorce.

    These days, being politically correct is becoming more important than ever. Some polled groups (like women and democrats) are mostly all for it while others (the Latinx community and men) tend to be a little less concerned with being PC. Regardless, cancel culture is a powerful force that's attacked celebrities like Chrissy Teigen, Kevin Hart, Mel Gibson, and so many more. Accountability and political correctness are important tools that are often used for good but at what point does someone deserve a second chance or forgiveness? Maybe forgiveness should be based on the severity of the offense or how long ago it happened or how good the public apology letter was. Or maybe there are no second chances when you're in the limelight. Join Holly and Mischa as they attempt to tackle some tricky topics from movies removed from Disney+ to stand up comedy to controversial words and phrases.

Just kidding – these ladies know that there are many instances where lying is justified, like saying you have a boyfriend when you don’t so that a creep will leave you alone. Or telling you mom that your face is red because you drank a glass of wine and not because you just had sex.

    In Part II, Holly & Mischa share about how their faith became their own starting in college years. Once they were no longer in their parents’ households, their faith began to evolve. For Mischa that meant leaning more towards spirituality and questioning religion. For Holly that meant she was facing a faith crisis, that she is still working through. Does the convo get a little dark and intense at times? Yup. But religion and the Bible aren’t just about rainbows and butterflies. Join Holly & Mischa as they complete their first two-part series all about Faith & Christianity.
