A podcast that’s clever, silly and sometimes unbelievable. SEMI-PRECIOUS follows the stories of two high energy neurodivergentsisters who have survived some pretty tricky life situations.In what can only be described as a classic case of over sharing, the hosts, a brand strategist (the blonde one and a relationship counsellor (the brunette) talk uncut and unpolished about business, raising humans, embarrassing accidents and their unhealthy obsession with Champagne, cheese and gin. You might learn something, you might be inspired but if nothing else, you will definitely have a laugh.
