This week, the ladies are diving into the fascinating history and timeless traditions of Mardi Gras—a celebration that’s so much more than beads and parades. From its Catholic roots and French beginnings to the colorful krewes, king cakes, and costumes that define it today, they unpack how this season of joy, indulgence, and community has evolved over centuries.

You’ll learn the meaning behind the purple, green, and gold, the story of how Mardi Gras made its way to Louisiana, and why its deeper purpose is about more than just a good time—it’s about faith, culture, and connection.

✨ Grab your coffee (or maybe a slice of king cake) and join the ladies as they celebrate the spirit of Mardi Gras—where history, faith, and fun all meet on parade day!
