Wow, do we have a lot to catch up on! Rebecca's back from her Disney adventure (and still detoxing from the magic and the chicken tenders), and Lauren is breaking down exactly how much she’s worked this year (it’s even less than we thought). We’re chatting about business rhythms, homeownership dilemmas, all the drama that comes with having a sock-eating dog 🙄, and Disney reflections.

👯‍♀️ Today's Banter Includes:

1. Real-life work hours confession, and does revenue match the time invested?
2. Little luxuries: hairdressers who can read the room, family shows we all love, and the sublime experience of sitting poolside OFF DUTY
3. House talk: Is it normal wear & tear, kids being absolute savages, or just bad builders?
4. The never-ending sock-eating dog saga
5. Gabbin’ about measuring, mood boards (or not), and a Disney debrief

We survived the month of January, and I think we can all agree that's something to celebrate! Balancing work, family, and a relentless stream of sick days and snow days is no joke. That's why we're kicking off this episode by talking about how we share the household load with our husbands, and what we're outsourcing just to survive. Then, we're venting about our latest blood boilers, like annoying trips to Verizon and losing our favorite things. And we're calming it down with a reminder to embrace whatever season you're in - and a great story of a failed lash lift!

👯‍♀️ Today’s Banter Includes:

How we’re sharing the load at home (and what we outsource first!)

Why we’re okay being “just okay” at some things this year

Why Verizon’s business model is making our blood boil

Lauren’s uncomfortable eyelash lift experience

30-second therapies and little luxuries that are getting us through the day
