Two Gen-X women. Zero interest in pretending we have it all together.

Breath Control & Bad Decisions is where real life meets real talk. Hosted by Jenn X and Salty J, this podcast dives into the chaos of adulthood, how the past has shaped our generation. Equal parts wisom and "what were we thinking?" If you drank out of a water hose and survived, you are one of us.
