Today’s muse? Not the band, though existential angst is involved. This episode is all about feeling behind in life when society’s imaginary checklist starts whispering: "You should’ve done that by now", and why it’s totally overrated.

After a holiday break, Francesca dives into a spirited reflection on leg hair and why skipping the razor can be a political statement. Meanwhile, Melody shares her adventures (and misadventures) of being the youngest in a travel group full of seniors.

This month, Melody and Francesca discuss the challenges of living abroad, from navigating cultural adjustments to overcoming language barriers. In other words, how to board a flight wearing 10 layers of clothing or having to choose between your laptop and your cat.

It's like one of those jokes: an Italian and a French enter a bar... Meet Francesca and Melody in this first episode as they go over awkward moments, bidets, and would the French just give the Mona Lisa back to the Italians?
