So much has happened: an epic Super Bowl halftime show, a new season of our favorite regency romance, and debriefing Joy’s first gig. If you’ve been following along with the Accountabilibuddy section of the pod, you know Joy has been working toward this so we are going to debrief.

But first, we have to give Benito his flowers and dive into Benedict & Sophie’s story. As 2 girlies who’ve read the book - An Offer From a Gentleman by Julia Quinn - we have thoughts to share about what Netflix has given us thus far in the newest season of Bridgerton.

Kendra Scott anyone? To what we are obsessed with, a moment for Joy’s inner pilates princess and to Megan’s Heated Rivalry obsession. Our rage you may ask? It is with our loved ones in Minneapolis.

So grab your favorite beverage, chore or craft, let’s get chatting.

For our inaugural episode we read The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston. A book we both initially judged by its’ cover, but thankfully Joy’s bookseller convinced her to give it a try... she fell in love at the first line and gifted it to Megan for Christmas.A book we both devoured in 24 hours because it was THAT good.

There are a bajillion spoilers in this episode, so proceed with caution if you haven’t yet read The Dead Romantics. We also announced February’s book club book: Game Changers by Rachel Reid! As of January 27, Joy has not seen the show or read the books, Megan has seen the show and read Heated Rivalry, The Long Game, and Role Model. We will skate into Game Changers in our February 25 episode, but we will see you next week for your weekly mental health break with Pretty Chatty 🩷

Actually, quite the opposite, friend to friend, what if we stopped with The Last 90 Days thinking and switched to “what is one thing I can change now that will make everything a little better?” This is very honest but practical approach to goal setting and flipping the script on The Last 90 Days goal setting. We chat about all of the things that we have tried with goal setting and more importantly failed to do when it comes to making those goals happen. Flipping the thinking from “next 3 months” to “what do I actually want to do long term?” Grab a beverage, settle in, we need to have a chat.

There’s something about a first listen of a brand new album… but there’s also something else about your 10th listen!! Megan and Joy recorded their first reactions, and then a few days later sat down to talk through our full responses to the album, the music video, and the theatrical experience.

And then somehow we edited 3.5 hours of video down to a 1 hour podcast.
