Due to the recent popularity of the Netflix series "Maid" and the conversations it has started, last week's episode was about abusive relationships. Julianne, Donna and Nina got together to discuss language and terms that have become more widely accepted in recent years that were not around when they were in their own abusive situations and relationships. They shared their own extremely painful experiences; they got incredibly vulnerable and shared things that they had not even told one another before. Due to last week's episode being as trauma heavy as it was, they took a week off to decompress. This week they follow up on last week's episode, as well as, discuss the stress of moving. An important conversation is has about Donna'a difficulties to keep her negative opinions to herself but apologizes in a big way! Please don't forget to review and subscribe!
