When women come together with open books and open hearts, the best thing happens: connection. When co-host Laura moved to a new town in 2019, she had no idea how she was going to make friends. But a chance encounter with a fellow mom at the neighborhood pool changed Laura's life—because it led her to her life-giving group, The Book Club Babes! Laura shares easy tips you can use to create your own book club: how to meet your people, decide what to read (spoiler alert: you can read anything you want, it doesn't have to be books!), why automating your meeting time makes getting together *so* much easier—and why making time to get together matters so much.
