Two cousins traverse the world tree in order to bring a fresh and entertaining perspective to the ups and downs of daily life through personal stories, current events (not political), and a weekly topic of discussion. We end every episode with a mindful moment where we take a moment to grow personally, mentally, emotionally, and at times spiritually.
