Writer and lavender farmer, Melissa J. Broughton drops by the podcast to talk about finding a place in Buellton, renting with an artist's credit history, growing up in a one-stoplight town, California's cost of living, running away after her divorce, remembering those palm trees, not having the things you thought you would, how writing a college handbook put her through college, being inspired by an airplane thief, her eclectic resumé, ghosting, wanting and not wanting kids, owning her daddy issues, progressing into alcoholism, celebrating her sobriety with a glass of wine, little sprinkles of divine intervention, and drinking Axl Rose's bath water.
