Who are we?

First off, we are friends. We actually have been friends for over 13 years! But after 5 years of friendship, we realized there was more... romance? Yes, yes there was. And finally after 6 years together, we tied the knot! If you haven't caught on, we tend to take things slowly... but along the way we talked through everything.

This is where this podcast comes along. Frankly, we like to talk! We are two very self-aware people and ask a LOT of questions. Join us while we share our personal experiences and try to answer those questions. What is this life? Are we doing it right? Someone, help. Higher Self, Take the Wheel.

Scott has been Gen Z pilled. Sophia and Scott talk about their constant state of consumption, especially their phone addictions. Is ADHD linked to addictive personality? What's gonna happen in the future with the phone addiction? Can there be good from this, or maybe we just need to read more.
