I just finished reading her new book. Life will be the death of me, which I loved.

0:10.6

This is the third time Chelsea has been on the podcast because when I started reading her book, I missed her.

0:15.7

So here she is again. I hope you enjoy the episode.

0:18.8

The ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to On Qualified with your host, Anna Ferris.

0:39.6

So I started your book. Life will be the death of me. And I was around chapter three and I did

0:46.1

something that I thought was being lazy. I bought it on audiobook and I felt like it was cheating
