Hey guys, what's up and welcome back to Fingers crossed podcast. We are so excited to have you here with us today. We are beating the January blues by bringing you quality content every Tuesday. So let's hope. Let's hope. Yeah,

hopefully we're not adding to your depression. That would be bad. I'm Sierra, if you don't know.

And I'm Christy, and we are the dynamic duo behind fingers crossed bringing you this quote-unquote

quality content, hopefully. But yes, we are here to chat it up with you all and have a discussion
