Work Wives Unscripted034. The Work Wives Archives - GRWM to Trauma BondHappy Thursday Wives! Welcome to a little thing we like to call, "The Work Wives Archives" where we post a throwback, never before heard episode.
As we were packing up and moving out of our office, we decided to revisit and listen to some old episodes to see if there were any that would bring a good laugh, and this one did just that. It's unhinged and covers a whole lot of territory, but brought us joy nonetheless — if you're the wives we know you are, we hope it brings the same laughs for you too.
