This episode is sponsored by Vinted. You guys know I've been in a serious decluttering era, and my closet was the final boss.
I had clothes I kept telling myself I'd wear someday, but they were really just taking up space. And once I pulled everything out, I realized how much value was actually sitting in there. That's why Vinted makes so much sense. Vinted is a secondhand marketplace app that helps you sell clothes you no longer wear and give them a second life. My sister Audrey, all of her clothes for this Mo are literally from Vinted. I'm not exaggerating when she found out Vinted was a sponsor. She was so excited. Listing items on Vinted is quick and simple. And once an item sells, Vinted creates a prepaid shipping label for you. The best part is that Vinted has no seller's fees, so you can keep everything you earn. The Vinted app is free to download too.
Using Vinted has made cleaning out my closet feel so much more satisfying. I'm making room for pieces I'll actually wear and earning a little extra money from clothes that were just sitting there.
So, ready to clean out your closet and make some extra cash? Download the Vinted app for free and start listing. With no seller's fees, you keep every dollar you earn.

Life is all about making decisions. Sometimes you make questionable ones, like buying a new TV that's too big for the wall because the electronic store employee was a little too good at their job.
Then sometimes you make great ones, like protecting your home and auto with Progressive. You get customized coverage options. You can be sure you have the right coverage for you, along with 24-7 claim support and great customer service. So when you think about it, that's like four great decisions. That more than makes up for the TV debacle. Get your quote today at progressive.com. Progressive Casualty Insurance Company, affiliates and other insurers not available in all states.

You guys know that 3 p.m. wall when you're staring at your inbox and wondering if you need a third coffee. Sometimes I have to stop and ask myself, have I had enough water today? Especially in doing my corporate job, Snark Bait, I need to be at the top of my game every day of the week and staying hydrated is a large part in being able to accomplish the many tasks that life is throwing at me. And that's what caught my attention about Cure Hydration. It's an everyday hydration mix built on oral rehydration science. Your body absorbs water more efficiently when it comes with electrolytes and a little glucose. Cure gets those from coconut water, Himalayan salt and real fruit juice. There's no added sugar or artificial ingredients and it's designed for everyday hydration. Whether you're getting through an afternoon traveling or heading to a workout. I literally drink it before every long flight. You guys know I go to London a lot and I do it before every flight.
I also appreciate that it's a simple way to be a little more intentional about hydration. Maybe Snark's, maybe that's before travel, maybe it's during the 3 PM slump after lunch, and you guys compare it with your beautiful Snark Bait pink water bottle.

Yeah.
There were people mad at us yesterday for not having the episode out yet. We, you got to give us time. You got to give us time. Christy had finished the book earlier this week. My copy took a little bit longer, so I ended up just downloading it on my Kindle. Right. If you can't tell by the title, we are talking about Sofia Franklyn's Daddy Issues, which I finished very late last night, so I'm a little bit tired. But I loved it. I devoured it. I devoured it. Yeah, I absolutely loved it. I think that it is one of those celebrity memoirs where you walk away feeling like you really, really, really know this person so much better.
There were so many things that Sofia had gone through, pre-Call Her Daddy, that I had no idea in terms of her upbringing. I think one of the biggest themes, obviously, the overarching theme is that you can't really trust anyone but yourself in Sofia's world, and she has had to learn that and live with that. But also, she grew up not trusting men because of experiences she had with an abusive stepdad. With an absent father staying at a women's shelter with her mom, being in an abusive relationship, and she always found comfort in women. So she never ever thought a woman would screw her over.
