Want more time with your girlfriends and less time out past your bedtime? This episode is your Colorado Springs friend-date playbook for women who'd rather be home by 8:30.
Carly and Lauren share 15+ local outings that are cozy, creative, a little bit silly, and over early. You'll walk away with a plan for every friend in your life: the gamer, the bookworm, the wellness girl, the one who's always up for karaoke, and more.
**Tune in to find out:**
- The hidden Old Colorado City speakeasy with a major twist (your drink comes with a side of friendly competition)
- Why one local yoga class leaves your face sore from laughing
- The book club where nobody has to talk (and why that's the point)
- The tranquil outing with Pikes Peak views
- Two can't-miss October workshops to put on your calendar now
- The low-key hangout that's secretly how Carly and Lauren became friends
- Which pick nearly caused a friendship betrayal, and the karaoke regular who gave Carly singing notes
And those are just the beginning!
