Alison Curtis is joined live in studio by Vicki Notaro — podcaster, broadcaster and bestselling author — for a chat packed with laughs, life, and a little bit of home-reno realness (minimalist vs maximalist!).

Vicki talks about her third novel, 'Anywhere But Here'. It focuses on female friendships, identity, and that “crossroads” moment many women feel around 40 — with freedom, choice, and pressure all colliding.

They also dig into comparison culture, Instagram’s happiness-leaching scroll, public scandal, and why Donegal is the perfect escape… even when your problems follow you!

Plus: writing advice, publishing nerves, and the crucial question — Mayo or Kerry?

NOTE: BOTH Alison and Vicki forgot to bring the book for the obligitary photo with book! So they have invisible copies!! :-D
