Michelle and Lauren dive into an unforgettable weekend at Starved Rock, where history, murder mysteries, and Native American lore collide. They uncover eerie tales of the Radium Girls, discuss a chilling true crime case, and, of course, share their top travel tips.

But that’s not all—this episode also takes a heartfelt turn as they reflect on powerful lessons from the dying. What really matters in the end? (Hint: It’s not the fancy stuff or Instagram likes.) From the importance of deep friendships to the joy of a well-made lasagna, they explore how to live fully and cherish the little things.

Grab a drink, settle in, and get ready to laugh, reflect, and maybe even plan your next getaway.
