Episode 04 / Them mom jeans, though

podcast

Jun 24

Show Descriptions:

In episode four, we talk about how parenting and getting older has changed our personal style. Our friend Jen from Jen Loves Kev joins us for a bit, and then we reminisce about that time Indiana tried to pick out Chris' clothes for him for an entire year. We end by briefly talking about intentional shopping rather than trend chasing. We're proud to promote our partnering brand Purpose Boutique during this show.
