267 | are we lucky?

from Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew Hosted by Shawn Johnson + Andrew East

In today's episode we got to sit down, walk down memory lane and reminisce about how crazy the timeline of our lives has been. It’s wild to think if one thing was slightly off, our whole lives could look entirely different. We truly wouldn’t change a thing :) Let us know what topics you want us to cover in the comments below, we’re gearing up to film some highly requested episodes! 🙂 The books we are reading, including "fluke" mentioned at the end of this episode ▶ https://www.amazon.com/shop/shawnjohnsoneast/list/LJALQY5VSMTD?ref_=aipsflist Love you guys!
