In this episode, Bree and Mendy unravel the hilariously awkward story of Margaret, a high-flying business consultant who unknowingly lets her love for garlic almost derail her career. From her early days as a competitive child to landing prestigious positions at top consulting firms, Margaret's journey is nothing short of remarkable. But when a well-meaning family intervention reveals a very personal issue, Margaret faces an awkward moment that could have jeopardized her professional reputation.
Through laughter and reflection, Bree and Mendy discuss the impact of personal quirks on professional life, the importance of self-awareness, and how even the most embarrassing moments can be turned into valuable life lessons.
