Episode 1: Meet Emily & Katie

In this introductory episode, Emily and Katie finally step up to the mic and tell the story of how they got here — and why now. They dig into the friendship that expanded their worldviews, the politics and family backgrounds that shaped them, and the therapy, EMDR, and slow work of healing that carried Katie through her hospitalization and back to her boutique. Along the way: enneagram chaos, travel personalities, the charm of Richmond, parenting through conflict, and the origin (and closing) of The Guild — Harvey, community relief, grief, and the doors that became a lasting symbol of a shared dream. Equal parts unfiltered conversation and love letter to the friendships that hold us together, this is the show they've been waiting to make.
