In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Jake Keiser, the author of Daffodil Hill.

Jake's story takes us on a journey from the glitz and glamour of Tampa, Florida, to the peaceful countryside of Mississippi, where she buys a farm on a whim after struggling with anxiety, failed relationships, and a desire for inner peace.

As she navigates the challenges of farm life, from caring for animals to fixing wells, Jake learns that the key to her happiness isn't found in external circumstances but within herself.

Her candid conversation with us about her journey is both poignant and hilarious, and her book, Daffodil Hill, is a must-read for anyone who's ever felt stuck in life and longed for something more.

So sit back, relax, and join us as we dive into Jake's story and discover the importance of writing our own love story with ourselves.

Here we go! Listen to see what Kim and Jen think about the book!

Eve has a good life. She gets up each day, gets a kiss from her husband Nate, and heads off to teach math at the local high school. All is as it should be. Except…

Last year, Caseham High was rocked by a scandal involving a student-teacher affair, with one student, Addie, at its center. But Eve knows there is far more to these ugly rumors than meets the eye.

Addie can't be trusted. She lies. She hurts people. She destroys lives. At least, that's what everyone says. 

But nobody knows the real Addie. Nobody knows the secrets that could destroy her. And Addie will do anything to keep it quiet.

How's your Sunday? Here's an episode from about a year ago. Enjoy!

"It's like you are supposed to do the lettering on a group poster project, but you get home and your markers are dry." Jen talks about her participation in her 'group project' at work. Kim updates us on her dad's move. They discuss the idea of removing AP and Honors classes to ensure equity. In Florida, teachers have to have ALL their personal resources vetted before using them. Then there's the general discussion about aging and how our middle-aged bodies aren't telling us their plans.
