About this episode
Today, Kaytee and Meredith are here with a special episode for you! We are sharing 15 of the listener "presses" we received in our call to action! You'll hear from each of those 15 listeners and then our commentary on each press, but none of our other regular segments. This was one of our most popular episodes of Season 1, so we hope you love it this year as well! As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode. If you'd like to listen first and not spoil the surprise, don't scroll down! *Please note that all book titles linked above are Amazon affiliate links.
