Thoughts from your gal pal

This week's theme: Mother's Day Extravaganza


Listen Later

Happy Mother's Day! I hope you remembered to get your mom flowers. And if not, consider this email your reminder to, at least, call your mom.

I don’t have all that much to say about this episode. But, I predict I’ll cherish recording this conversation - playful, casual, curious - long after I click publish.
