This week on The RLPodcast, the girls are getting real about the controversial drug: weed.

In this week’s episode of the RL Podcast, we’re diving deep into the mysterious world of dreams and their meanings. 💤✨
Scientists can’t fully explain dreams (and maybe never will), which is why so much of dream interpretation lives in the space of spirituality, the astroworld, and even past lives. Are our dreams simply random brain activity… or are they messages from our subconscious, or even something great...
