In this episode, Bree and Mendy explore the hilariously awkward and slightly terrifying experience of Ellie, who got stuck in an elevator just before Christmas. They discuss strategies for handling awkward moments, particularly in confined spaces, and share their own cringeworthy encounters. Ellie’s story is a rollercoaster of emotions, complete with lo mein noodles, lipstick messages, and a heroic rescue by her best friend. The episode wraps up with a special message from Synthia Scott Kearney – and offers a valuable tip for anyone who might find themselves stuck in an elevator. (Thank you, Synthia!)

  1. Stay Calm: Panic doesn’t help. Take deep breaths and assess your situation.
  2. Use the Emergency Phone: Don’t hesitate to call for help. Firefighters are there to assist you.
  3. Conserve Phone Battery: Make one or two essential calls if your phone battery is low.
  4. Stay Put: Don’t try to force the doors open. Wait for professional help.
  5. Have a Backup Plan: Always carry a portable charger and memorize important phone numbers.
