This week, life happened — Rachel was in a car accident and is resting up (she's okay, just needs some downtime), so Jen hopped on solo for a quick check-in before rewinding the clock to one of our earliest episodes for a nostalgic replay: Episode 7, from exactly a year ago.

THE SOLO CHECK-IN
- Rachel is resting up after a car accident last week — she's okay, just needs the recovery time. Sending her all the love, Sip Squad.
- Backspace Media officially launched last Friday — Jen's marketing company is live!
- Jen attended her first Ballet Wichita board meeting and got the scoop on the upcoming Sparkling Social, September 3rd at Goldfinch.
- Nick officially moved into Kansas State this week — cue the tears.
- Join us for our next Sip Squad Session at Tor Brewing, upstairs in the loft, featuring Sophie Jones of Jupiter House Marketing and PR — doors around 6:00, kickoff at 6:30. Free to attend, with our hype man Tony Vu (DJ Panda) on the ones and twos.

THE THROWBACK: EPISODE 7
A favorite from the vault! This week's rerun brings back one of our most-loved episodes — full of chaos, heart, and a story you have to hear to believe.
- The infamous toe story — a driveway, a chunk of toe, and a neighbor who really did not sign up for that.
- Jen's brush with an influencer scam — a brand collab that seemed way too good to be true (because it was).
- This or That: pickles vs. olives, extra ice vs. no ice, over vs. under, voice memo vs. long text, air dry vs. Dyson, candle vs. diffuser, binge vs. weekly, and morning person vs. "don't talk to me till 10."

BEFORE YOU GO
