It’s a dog eat dog world out there for women in business, so this week we asked Grace to share some of her best tips for the corporate girlies out there! But since we never take anything too seriously, even if you’re not currently in the workforce (like 3/4 of us), this episode should still be entertaining for you. If nothing else, it’ll leave you in awe of Bougie Grace!

For this book club episode, we read about the marvel of the human body. No, we didn’t discuss The Care and Keeping You, we read The Body: A Guide for Occupants by Bill Bryson! We learned many interesting tidbits in our first non-self-help book club pick.
