I missed you guys! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride as we sit down with one of my closest friends, Jacquelyn Aiello. Jacquie opens up about what it was like losing her sister, Brooke, months before she started freshman year at James Madison University. We discuss her sister's struggle with addiction and how she wasn't able to grieve the loss properly. Jacquie talks about why it's important to eat "yummy foods" and shares her new adventures as A PILOT. Also, we disclose why we love to talk about death so much. So yeah, there's a lot going on here.
