Hi guys, welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host, Conceal Elizabeth, and I'm so excited

for today's episode. We have author Jessica Hastings on the podcast. We randomly, I actually don't

in the description. I know so many of you guys love reading as well as to go check out the book,

but we're talking a little bit about the book, and then a lot about life advice for your 20s,

really going in every single direction in your 20s. I love her. You guys will love her without

further ado. We're going to get into the episode. Oh, but I do want to say the podcast episodes,
