    Picking up right where we left off last week, we kick off the show with a call into Papa John's. We asked our listeners to submit one word topics and we talk about those things. Hannah shares what makes her happy and sad and has once again enjoyed live music. Kaylie has house demo updates and the most epic Pete story to date. We share our Favorite Things for the week and wrap up by talking about our current journeys with depression and anxiety. These are things neither of us thought would become part of our lives and in this episode you hear us talk about it with each other for the first time. It's a topic we're going to touch on again in the future so we'd love for you to write in any questions or stories of your own ❤️ We love you, kiss kiss.

    This week Hannah talks Game of Thrones in a very non-spoiler alert way because Kaylie is unfortunately not caught up. Kaylie kicked off her busy wedding season over the weekend and shares a pro-tip for preventing that dreaded wedding photographer wedding hangover. Hannah’s company has rebranded (and she had a big hand in the changes) and now offers a weekly yoga class and she shares her experience with that. Grandpa Mike (Kaylie’s husband, Micah) pops in to chat for a bit and we end up getting very inspirational.FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM @tillieandellaLinks and show notes can be found at www.tillieandella.com
