Travel Special 2024: Iceland, Japan, New Orleans, New Zealand + Listener Summer Plans

Lian, Liz and Julie decide to spend a whole new episode just catching up! Where have they been? What are they watching + reading? What's coming up from Satellite Sisters?
Lian has the latest on her new book The Marriage Sabbatical. It's a National Bestseller now! Thank you to all who pre-ordered, asked for it at their library and are posting recommendations on their own socials.
Julie spent a weekend with her college women's group The Aging Models. It's their 30th anniversary of getting together annually! You can't make new old friends.
Liz went to a Bruce Springsteen concert in LA and doesn't regret a bit of it, even though all that dancing may not have been ideal for her new knee. Just ask her physical therapist.
Plus, Lian went to see Valerie Bertinelli at Vroman's and demands "Get that woman a talk show!". Here's Valerie's new cookbook. Indulge.
