Ashante Is The Reason I Thought I Could Be An Actress

This weeks episode is basically a time capsule what life looked like in 2006. We talk about our family camping trip where Jess broke out in a full stress rash, Becca ended up with a throat ulcer, and somehow in the middle of it all we found a ring at the lake that ended up being way more meaningful than we ever expected. We’re sealing John Tucker Must Die into the ultimate 2000s time capsule — because nothing screams teen drama and flip phone energy quite like it. We talk about how Ashanti single-handedly convinced us we could be actresses, why this movie still holds up as chaotic perfection, and the very specific nostalgia it stirs. For our benefit, we switch gears and get real with The Body Keeps the Score, a powerful book on trauma and healing that everyone should read at least once. From guilty-pleasure classics to life-changing reads, this episode has it all.
