From the Archives: Christmas Down Under and an interview with LAURETTA HIGNETT!

Shéa and Amy are on vacation, so we're bringing back one of our earliest (not redited at all) episodes.

On today's episode, which originally aired in July 2025, we interview author extraordinaire Lauretta Hignett about her "Susan, You're the Chosen One," the first in her "Welcome to Midlife Magic" series and try not to cringe too much at Amy’s fangirling.

You can find Lauretta at the following places:
