Welcome to a special BONUS episode of Beyond the Bump! We can't believe it's been almost four incredible years since we embarked on this podcasting journey, and we're beyond thrilled to celebrate over 6 million downloads with you, our amazing listeners. In this episode, we're answering some of the questions you've sent in. How did we meet? Why did we decide to start a podcast? Are we besties? Plus, we'll explore whether envy ever creeps into our relationship? And if we have any regrets or things we'd do differently if we could turn back time?
