Episode 39: Back to School Grind and Goals

Long Story Short with Megan and Wendy: The Podcast

Do you hear that? It's the sweet sound of silence. Megan and Wendy talk about the back the school grind and goals they've set for themselves since they will be 100% kid-free for the first time in eighteen months. Plus, a DIY henna tattoo gone wrong, the Alabama sorority rush on TikTok and why Megan should have stuck with her early summer C25K program.

With Heavy, Heavy Hearts We started this episode off with a note to acknowledge that the world is not in a good place.
