Now Ya Simi
Local events, Aldi finds, mom life, and whatever else spirals into the conversation. This podcast is part community bulletin, part group text, part therapy session—covering what’s happening around town, what’s happening in real life, and what’s just not that deep (but we’re talking about it anyway). Snarky, chaotic, and always honest—come for the info, stay for the commentary.
