We’re stirring up cocktails and conversation about a topic that might hit your wallet: tariffs.
Keryn and Kate kick off the episode with a Lavender Bees Knees and Empress Gin, then pivot to the rising costs of wine, hidden fees from online shopping, getting your news on tariffs from TikTok and the complex ripple effects of global trade.
From unexpected delivery bills to the reality of bringing manufacturing back to the U.S., this episode dives deep into how international policy decisions trickle down to everyday life. The duo also discusses why long-term planning—not quick fixes—is essential if we want to create lasting change for future generations. So pour yourself something strong and join the conversation.
