We had so much fun recording "on location" this week at the cutest book shop in Baton Rouge, Red Stick Reads! Owners James and Tere Hyfield came on as guests back in 2021 when Louisiana Ladies was just starting out. We have grown so much since then and knew we had to have them back! In this episode, we catch up on how business has been since we last spoke, discuss current popular reads as seen on Book Tok, and talk about our own LA Ladies book club. It was an absolute joy to record with these gems and we hope you enjoy the episode as much as we did!

We have two special guests for y'all this week, and another married couple at that - Chelsea and Christina Roudeze! Christina is one of our Tax Supervisors here at Faulk & Winkler and Chelsea is a firefighter in St. John Parish. We had so much fun chatting about what it is like to be a firefighter and what it is like to be married to one. It was so interesting to learn about such a different profession than our own and we were certainly enlightened by this interview. Thank you, Chelsea, and all of the men and women in the fire service, for keeping us safe!

This week, we are joined by two very special Louisiana Ladies! Erin and Avery of Farm Life join us to chat all about their goat milk soap business.
