Hey friends, I'm Laura Cashner and you're listening to the Simplified Podcast.

If you're looking for a quiet place where you can filter out the noise and the hustle,

this is it.

Every week we invite you to slow down and join us to explore practical ways to organize

and automate the complicated parts of life so that you can focus on what truly matters

most.

One of the fastest ways to find peace is to empty all of your thoughts onto paper.

So we thought why not write in something pretty?

They're a perfect gift for a friend, a teacher, or just yourself.

You can find our journal collection right now over at EmilyLay.com.

you paid way too much for is finally being delivered after a five-month delay.
