We are both back from gallivanting around Europe and couldn’t think of a more fitting movie than Mamma Mia! This movie and the accompanying playlist continue to bring us both a lot of joy and we hope you feel that in our episode today! In this episode we chat about how this movie approached the conversation of aging both physically (Tanya) and emotionally (“GROW BACK DOWN”).
