This week we are finishing up the podcast with a chat about our experience, our favourite moments, favourite episodes and random stuff. We also decided to do this one raw, with no edits so you can do a drinking game around how many times Bec says "um" and loses track of her thoughts and Tara says "so..." and bumps her mic. Thanks for listening, reviewing, donating, sharing, connecting and more. We have loved this chance to connect with you.  Please stay in touch! Just because we aren't recording anymore doesn't mean we aren't around and happy to chat to you.
