Welcome back to SEASON 2 of the Joy of Missing Out podcast! After a 1 year hiatus, we are finally back. Tysm for your patience. We also did receive plenty of angy comments about why we didn't come back in 2025 😅 but just remember, it's just us doing it from my living room o___o (yes, this is Chloe). Podcasting looks so chill, but the production ops is a monster to do right. I also changed careers, joined a new agency, got married, worked a BUNCH, and tried to produce this pod. I vowed to myself that if it wasn't good, it's not going out. I finally think it's ready to release! Eric and I decided to kick off the first episode with THE WEDDING ✨ This episode is about my wild, overwhelming year (wedding, career explosion, burnout) and Eric's personal chaos (broken foot, heartbreak, startup pressure, loneliness). ChatGPT says: Together, Eric and Chloe talk about friendship under pressure, how distance tests connection, and what it means to come back together after a year that nearly broke both of us. (HAHA wow so dramatic) Hope you enjoy our S2 premiere!
