This week we unpack one of social media’s most recent movements the 'soft life era'. Is this just another trend? Or is it a way of life that can help us take care of our physical and mental wellbeing? We also give our thoughts on a TruthoffMyChest Reddit post ‘I want a divorce after 9 months of marriage but people in my surroundings seem to think this is odd and immature.' A lot of saucy takes in this episode friends, be sure to tune in!
