We are a group of five friends who met as part of a book club, and are podcasting to extend our conversation beyond the pages of the books. We talk about motherhood, identity, grief, friendship, life hacks, books, bra sizing, meal planning, hiding from our children in the closet with chocolate, and everything in between.
