No help. Just three sisters who are very much figuring it out.—📺 We're creating the TV series we’ve dreamed of since our teens.  🎙️ New episodes every week about the good, bad and ugly of our 20s.Find us on Instagram: @20somethingplaybookSupport our mental health nonprofit on IG: @myteam.social#podcast #sisters #burnout #creativework #screenwriting #podcastlife #twenties Hosted on Acast.
