Episode 50: Fire Snakes & Wood Tigers celebrate our 50th EPISODE!

In today’s episode of Cliffhangers and Cocktails, Shéa and Amy are reminded that words come from fingers, not faces as they look back over their favorite moments of the last year and a half. And while Shéa was able to choose a single cocktail as her pod fave (a limoncello lemondrop), Amy couldn’t decide between a French 75 (she did her signature Cherry Portuguese 77) and a spicy pineapple margarita.

Join us for a glimpse at some of our favorite moments over the last 49 episodes!

Affirmation: I am thankful for what I am, for what I have, and what I can do.
