Ep. 272 Finding awesome in a year that wasn't (a group show!)

December 18, 2020

Well, friends, we made it. ALMOST. But before we put 2020 to bed (finally!), we wanted to gather together to talk about how we were able to find moments of awesome in a year that definitely wasn’t. Join Meg and Kelly and Rebekah for this review of how they got through 2020 with favorite activities at home, best online purchases, self-comfort and self-care, and some pop culture picks. Plus each of them share the Awesome of the Week that turned out to be the Awesome of the Year!

SORTA SPICY IS HERE, friends! Introducing the brand new series from Sorta Awesome where Meg, Rebekah, Kelly, and other Awesomes share the stuff you'll never hear on a regular episode. The Sorta Spicy series is exclusively available to our Super Star Awesomes who support us on Patreon. So far we’ve shared: Emily’s story of recovery in a 12-step program, 10 great romance novels with Rebekah. and fangirl-ing for fandoms with Meg! Don’t miss out!
