Two pink-loving gals come together to talk about (yes) our favourite colour (pink) and why it means something to us (it’s deeper than you think). We also discuss Morgan’s experiences with reality TV and knowing when to CALL IT, when to STOP, when to SAY NO, and create boundaries in a world that celebrates the climb up the mountain, some know when to stop and rest. Morgan opens up about leaving the narratives others gave her through TV shows and instead, becoming her OWN show.

Leanne Hainsby may be known for her work as a Peleton Instructor but in January of 2023 she revealed a private journey she had been on with breast cancer. Her story has helped others activate themselves to push for answers and get the right diagnosis. But diagnosis wasn’t the end of the road, as Leanne found herself working through her identity crisis, moving through intrusive thoughts and moving away from perfection to finding joy in the now all while teaching others about self-advocacy, self-care and of course - checking your boobs.
