The hustle it took to land the role, her first sober breakup, and what it feels like to finally be on the other side of some genuinely dark times. The girls get candid about codependency, making amends and the healing power of female friendships.

    Business is booming. But you know what really helped? Xero, the accounting platform for small businesses. I used to think unpaid bills were just part of it. Ugh. But batch payments? Wow. Automated accounts payable? Even better. All in one place. That's a big one. And I can keep track from my phone while I get the job done. No bills in sight. What a life. Do right by yourself and your business and search X-E-R-O for your free trial. Conditions apply.
