Gretchen’s cohost and guinea pig is her younger sister, Elizabeth Craft, a TV writer and producer living in Los Angeles, who (lovingly) refers to Gretchen as her happiness bully. Part of the Cadence13 Network.

Customer Reviews
Quotations are nuggets of wisdom & enlightenment!
One of my favorites-

Beach Reads
Hi Ladies,
I LOVE that you asked! I read Jenny Colgan’s The Scottish Bookshop Series. They are heartwarming books that include struggle, and real life scenarios but sweet endings. The book also features a LOT of baking, cooking, and reference to recipes.
Thanks a bunch,
Narissa
Fun, wise, and different
I love this podcast; listening to it is one of the things that makes me HAPPIER! It’s like having a couple of good girlfriends; Gretchen and Liz cheerfully and intelligently chat and offer tips and strategies for better life habits, house and home, and family. It’s a delightful respite from the day’s news and more “serious” stuff.
