Welcome to the Girl Next Door Podcast. I'm Erica and I'm Kelsey. In every episode, we bring our different perspectives to honest, funny conversations that feel like chatting with good friends.

We started this show years ago when we were next door neighbors and still haven't run out of things to talk and laugh about yet.

Before we get into our show topic today, we wanted to let you know that we'll be having a live

online summer hangout for Friends of the Show on Sunday, June 9th at 11 a.m. Pacific Time.

We'll be talking about our summer plans, chatting about summer joys and challenges, and how we'll be

So if you aren't a friend of the show, you can join on Patreon for just $5 a month.

Plus, get access to all of our bonus content, including our recent episode about sex,

that one listener called

The Best Episode Ever.

So we hope you'll mark your calendar for Sunday, June 9th at 11 a.m. Pacific time and join

us.
