Welcome to Friend Therapy with D!NK and S!NK where real talk meets ridiculous laughter. Your hosts, Kristine (the proud DINK: Dual Income, No Kids) and Wioleta (the fabulous SINK: Single Income, No Kids), are diving deep into what these acronyms actually mean and how they show up in real life.

In this episode, they unpack surprising stats from a Harris Poll, swap hilarious (and occasionally awkward) vacation stories, and get real about relationships—why we chase them, whether we need them, and what happens when we stop caring about the “rules.”

You'll get fashion inspo from Wioleta (hello, wear your colors!) and wellness wisdom from Kristine (smoothies that actually slap). It’s honest, it’s chaotic, it’s a vibe and you’re invited.

Laugh, relate, and maybe even join the convo. Because let’s face it: therapy’s better with friends.
