Lindsie kicks today off with a morning dose of chaos. She shares the unexpected text from ex-husband Will, talks about the wonders of a Brazilian Blowout, and recounts her string of suspicious flat tires. Lindsie gives her thoughts on "Part of Your World," which she deeply resonated with, sparking a discussion about personal life similarities and the emotional impact of literature. Kristen can't bring herself to even think about living in a tiny home community in Texas where women live together without men, but appreciates the effort being made for a peaceful life. They also tackle the "one and done family" phenomenon, exploring the financial, emotional, and societal factors influencing the decline of the average family size.
