Still Joyful; still fun

I love this show. Of course I miss Kate so much. Her horsegirl/rom com author vibe was so fun!l Elise has great energy that adds lots of value and freshness. Also, the underlying themes are the same! Stay true to yourself and chase your own things, practices, and reads that bring you joy. Also, don’t feel guilty about not doing that the “right way”. I love that they answered a Q directly related to the 9-5 set and enjoying/making the most of their summer. It would be great to hear from people not always selling books (though I love all the recs).
