Season 2, Episode 49: Special Episode - Ask Us Anything!
Today, Meredith, Kaytee, and Mindy are here with a special episode for you! We are answering YOUR questions about life and podcasting and reading and all the things! We hope you love learning a bit more about our lives behind the scenes and that you love getting to know Mindy a bit better. We loved how enthusiastic you all were about sending these questions, and of course there were so many questions we received that we couldn’t answer. Thanks for being the BEST listeners!
As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode. If you’d like to listen first and not spoil the surprise, don’t scroll down!
