What a year! Has the judgment increased lately or is it just us? For as hard as we try, why do we judge others?
And why do we care what others think about us?
Nicole and Andy discuss recent judgment they have both received as well as judgment they've doled out.
They discuss some takeaways on steps they are trying to improve personally.
Wendy Hill Manson wanted a side hustle to make some extra money to help her boys pay for college. She decided to take the plunge into Airbnb.

Wendy shares how she got started, the mistakes she made along the way, and how Airbnb is helping her ease into retirement.
