Summary
In today's episode, Laura discusses the concept of Golden Hour to reframe the hours between late afternoon and bedtime. Many of us spend that time just sort of wishing the hours away, or going into autopilot -- but is there a better way? She and Sarah dissect this time period and the ways (both big and small) we might refigure and reimagine it to be more enjoyable and rewarding.
