I found you guys this year, and your podcast truly IS a surrogate sisterhood. When I'm alone at home, working remotely, it's just so fun to listen to you guys. I don't want to listen to another podcast about cold plunging, I want to feel like I'm surrounded by girlfriends, and that's what you guys bring.

Thank you for this heartfelt read...really beautiful and inspiring. Ive been listening to you girls for a while now and recently became a global elite. As a new mom of twins, this podcast brings me so much joy and laughter throughout the week and I feel like I learn at least one new vocab word every episode. ;) Keep the hot takes coming and maybe we could get a couple mini's here and there related to all things TS.

Been a patreonie since year 1 and am so happy you guys never stopped! I survived lockdown bc of your pods, and feeling like I was listening to my friends talking about fun gossip (when in reality I hadn’t seen anyone but my family in way too long 😅)

I am a viral moment subscriber and have looked forward to your content every week since the Kate Middleton reels! I find your career path fascinating and this was just the inspiration I needed to hear as I'm in week 1 of embarking on my dream career by way of a perfectly timed layoff. You are amazing! Thanks for sharing!

I would be devastated if you pulled the plug. You two are my favs. I have nobody else to chat with about my fav topics and I feel like you’re my friends (weird I know). Thanks for the inspiration

I feel so honored to be a global elite! I found you all during Kate-gate and have been your virtual bestie ever since. I listen to you when I workout and when I paint. It takes me back to my NYC days and feels like a nice warm hug when I tune in!

I love this and it gives me so much hope as an influencer who has been blogging for 15 years with little to no traction. It’s hard to keep on going but it’s my passion

The content train really can be a grind but just know that even if you feel your audience is small in comparison to others, those people tune in for YOU and that's really special 💗 you're doing amazing and even though it looks like there are a million overnight successes online, most people are not!

I’m an early listener and so thrilled for the success you both have earned. This article is an example of putting out a hand to help others reach where you’ve traveled instead of pulling up the ladder. After listening all these years I’d expect nothing less but still, bravo.
