Today we're sharing how the move has brought out some insecurities, a new dynamic between us, and changes to our lifestyle.

Ah, the dreaded job hunt. It brings out all our worst insecurities and anxiety.

In the midst of everything that's happening in the U.S., we decided to have a bit more of a lighthearted episode to bring a bit of levity to a very heavy week. We're testing Joseph's knowledge of Britishisms and slang words not commonly used in the States or elsewhere. We also touch on why I've been moody these days, the case for not unfollowing people on social media, and our favorite new British snack!
