Scheana and her friend Simon Curtis discuss a range of topics from personal struggles to open relationships and celebrity culture.

This week, Scheana is joined by her close friend and favorite hiking buddy, Simon Curtis, for a conversation that goes everywhere—from Crocs and Hollywood heartbreak to open relationships and Scheana’s doppelgänger, Britney Spears.
