Bonus Episode of The Sentimental Twist: When Internet Friends Meet IRL

We finally did it. After years of talking online through Instagram, texts, Zoom, and podcast recording, Brittany and Melissa finally meet in real life. And it was every bit as fun, funny, and heartwarming as you'd expect! In this bonus episode, we're sharing stories from our weekend together, from first hugs and home tours to good food, meaningful conversations, and all the little moments that made us feel like we'd been friends forever. Along the way, we chat about hospitality, making people feel at home, decorating with the things you love, and why authentic connection matters so much in a world that often stays behind a screen. Think of this episode as a cozy catch-up with friends. Pull up a chair and join us. Highlights: Email us [email protected]!
