In Our Opinion...: Dear Evan Hansen Musical vs Movie
This week's segment is "In Our Opinion..." We talk about what we loved and what we didn't in the Dear Evan Hansen movie. Since the three of us saw the musical on Broadway the last time we were all together, we thought this would be a great introduction to this new segment. We give our favorite songs, favorite actors, and our overall preference between the movie and the stage show.  We also spend an abundance of time talking about completely unrelated topics including plugging our favorite "Dancing with the Stars" and "The Voice" contestants so go vote for team JoJo and team Iman (DWTS) and team Wendy Moten (The Voice).  Feel free to check out our social media for any pictures and videos we mention in our episodes.

Childhood Memories Unlocked: Annie's Dance Adventure
This week's segment is "Childhood Memories Unlocked" We dive into a retelling of one of our childhood dance recitals, "Annie's Dance Adventure", loosely (STRONG emphasis on loosely) based on the Broadway musical, "Annie". In this rendition, Morgan played the title character and Jordyn and Lael played the orphans who never left the bed. We talk about the massive failures we faced during this recital, both personal and otherwise. And finally, we tell the story of the time Morgan faced a near-death experience at the slippery hands of Jordyn.  This week's photos and videos are way too good to miss so check them out on social media: Instagram: @SimplyStruggling_Podcast TikTok: @SimplyStrugglingPodcast

This is the Life: High School Dreams vs Now
This week's segment is, "This is the Life" We talk about our dreams for our post-high school lives and how those dreams manifested (or didn't). It's pretty safe to say that all of us didn't end up doing exactly what we had imagined. Even though there has been a lot of pivoting along the way, our journies brought us to where we are supposed to be and for that, we have no regrets. Most importantly, this week you'll finally hear about our namesake and why it is so relevant to us and undoubtedly many others.
