    December Book Club: The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year by Ally Carter

    Looking for the perfect cozy Christmas mystery? In this episode of the So Can I podcast, I dive into The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year by Ally Carter, which was our December Book Club pick! It is a festive whodunit inspired by classics like Knives Out and Clue. Set in a snowy English manor at Christmastime, this cozy mystery features secret tunnels, a suspicious cast of charecters, a locked-room disappearance, and a slow-burn romance. As always, I break down the plot, what I loved about the book, and why I gave it 4.5-stars! I also go over holiday book recommendations, a reveal of January’s Book Club pick (Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid), and reflections on wrapping up the podcast year and heading into 2026. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

    Building a Golf-Inspired Activewear Brand with Emily Sprague of Turtlebacks

    Today I am joined by Emily Sprague. Emily is the founder of Turtlebacks, a boys’ golf-inspired performance apparel brand. After spending more than 15 years as an attorney, Emily left her legal career to focus on creating the kind of clothing her own sons needed—comfortable, polished pieces that work on the golf course, at school, in church, and everywhere in between. Today, she’s building Turtlebacks into a family-first, community-driven brand that celebrates active boys and the families who support them. In this episode, Emily and I talk about her career as an attorney, why she started Turtlebacks, how she balances style and comfort, and so much more!  First Tee Turtlebacks Instagram Turtlebacks Website

    From Overwhelmed to Organized: Realistic Time Management with Kelly Nolan

    Today I am joined by Kelly Nolan! Kelly is an attorney-turned-time management strategist and mom of two. After experiencing overwhelm as a young patent litigator in Boston, Kelly figured out a time management system that helped her show up in the ways that she wanted at work and at home – without requiring her brain to somehow magically remember it all.  She now empowers other professional working women to manage their personal, family, and career roles with less stress and more calm using her realistic time management system, the Bright Method.  The Bright Method has been featured in Bloomberg Businessweek, and Kelly's work has been published in Forbes, Fast Company, Insider, and Parents. Kelly also hosts the Bright Method podcast. Most importantly, the Bright Method works for real women, helping them manage it all with more clarity, less stress, and the confidence to hold boundaries at work and at home. In this episode, Kelly and I talk about her career as an attorney, how she build her business, effective time management strategies, what is really holding women back when it comes to managing our time, and so much more!  Kelly's Instagram Kelly's Website Girls On The Run

    Creating Beautiful Paper Plates and Finding Your Way in Your Twenties with Mallory Killingstad

    Today I am joined by Mallory Killingstad! Mallory grew up in Dallas, Texas, and every summer her family would rent a house in Seaside for a month—a place she has always considered her happy place. In fact, the artist for Pavilion was her best friend in middle school, who often joined her family on those summer trips—neither of them realizing they’d one day collaborate on a company inspired by 30A in their thirties. She attended SMU for undergrad, and living in Dallas helped shape her appreciation for fashion, which later translated into interiors and home. With an undergraduate degree in engineering, Mallory’s career path has been anything but linear. She owned a clothing boutique for several years, lived in Aspen while working in community marketing for Outdoor Voices during its startup days, and eventually returned to Dallas. After losing her father at 31, Mallory made the bold decision to pursue her MBA at 32, an intimidating step at the time, and she proudly graduated at 34. In the years that followed, she got married, broke her leg, started a family, and is now a mom to two little girls.  Through it all, Mallory has held tightly to hope, choosing to believe she would always land on her feet—a perspective she admits she didn’t fully embrace in her twenties.  In this episode Mallory and I talked about her twenties, the first business she started, why she decided to leave that business behind, going back to school, how she started Pavilion, why having a cofounder is so important, and more!  Pavilion Paper's Website Pavilion Paper's Instagram  Lila's Light
