The Girl Next Door Podcast
2018 Wrap Up & Australian Us
•
Warning! At the beginning of the episode during our snack we discuss Santa and you might not want little ears to listen. But after that the coast is clear.
With the end of the year approaching we reflect on 2018 and share our personal highlights plus the best books, movies, products, meals, and podcasts we enjoyed. We also year from past Erica and Kelsey to see if the years we predicted came true. We snack on the ultimate holiday cookie: dark chocolate covered peppermint Joe-Joe's and the not so ultimate pfeffernusse.
Things we mention on the show:
Episode of The Nuanced Life with discussion of therapy
The Heart's Invisible Furies (Erica recommends the audiobook)
Bad Blood (audiobook)
Kelsey's standing desk (desk built to be standing desk height which for Kelsey is 41 inches)
Our episode all about podcasts we love
Slow Burn (both seasons)
Jen Hatmarker's For the Love! podcast
Straight and Curly podcast ep 2018 Year in Review
