Liz is joined by bestselling author, Kathy Lette. This lady is one live wire and hilariously discusses her life from men to menopause. To highlight World Autism Awareness Day this week, Kathy also speaks about raising a son with autism. She explains how her son has taught her that “there is no such thing as normal and abnormal, there’s ordinary and extraordinary.”
