Hi guys, sorry we haven't posted in a while! This past year has been incredibly challenging for us as we navigated the grief of losing our grandparents. They had profound impact on our lives, and we’re still figuring out what life looks like without them. Recording and uploading episodes didn’t feel right while we were processing this loss. However, we are committed to honoring their legacy and preserving their memories through our work. While we’re still healing, we’re hoping to get back into the rhythm of things this year. Thank you everyone for your understanding and support—it means so much to us. With love, Jesse, Andrew, and Rachel
