Ella Fitzgerald & Marilyn Monroe

Welcome to the inaugural episode of I Love That For You! To kick the show off right, Red and Kelly explore all aspects of friendship - from starting a podcast together, facing life transitions, navigating wedding party lineups and how to make and maintain friends as an adult.

The ladies turn the spotlight onto the unlikely (but legendary) friendship of Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe and discuss the lessons learned from this historical (and life-changing) duo. Hint: It doesn't always have to be about you, yo!
