Ever found yourself shivering in a corporate office during the peak of summer? That's exactly what happened to Mariah, who recently landed a new job and discovered the harsh reality of commuting. Just as we chat about her commuting adventures, her festive blanket purchase to combat the freezing temperatures, and the snack stash that keeps her going. Leslie chimes in with her own office AC woes, and we both share the amusing and sometimes frustrating balancing act of new routines and lingering post-trip chaos.

We also tackle the challenges of recording schedules and despite these bumps, we remind ourselves and our listeners not to stress—this podcast is a passion project, not our main gig. Our conversation shifts gears to the essence of Pride and its rich history, particularly focusing on the Stonewall Riots of 1969. While we might be a tad late for Pride Month, understanding and celebrating Pride goes beyond just the parades, and we delve into why that matters.

From the roots of the LGBTQ+ rights movement to our own experiences at Pride events, this episode takes a reflective turn. We discuss how acceptance is evolving, even in traditionally conservative cultures, and underscore the importance of coexistence and respect. We also touch on health issues, from the AIDS epidemic to the importance of finding the right healthcare providers, all while sharing a few laughs and personal anecdotes. Tune in for a candid and heartfelt episode filled with stories, laughs, and a touch of education.
