Hey everyone, welcome back to the Mention at All podcast. I am thrilled to be joined today by

another one of our secret lives of Mormon wives ladies. They have been very busy this fall.

And now Macy Neely has a brand new book out. Her memoir told you so. I'm so excited to have her here. Macy, how's it going?
