| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Live Well Anyway. I'm your host, Mackenzie Kappa. On this podcast, I help you learn how to feel healthy, look good, and plan a life you actually like in the midst of all the everyday chaos. I'm so glad you're here. And on this episode, we are talking all things audiobooks. Now, you probably |
| 0:22.8 | know that I'm an audiobook narrator. I do a lot of books for Trisha Goyer, some Amish fiction |
| 0:28.3 | things. I will put those in the show notes if you are at all interested in listening to those. |
| 0:32.4 | In fact, I'm about to finish up a couple of more books in her Amish fiction series, but I really love listening |
| 0:39.2 | to audiobooks. Being an audiobook narrator, I am very picky about my listening, and so my favorite |
| 0:45.1 | audiobooks tend to be celebrity memoirs and celebrity written books. However, if you continue to listen |
| 0:52.0 | through the whole episode, I do throw in some of my other |
| 0:54.6 | favorite audiobooks that I've ever listened to that have nothing to do with celebrities and |
| 0:59.2 | are just really, really good writing, especially ones that are funny. |
| 1:03.5 | And I think that we do a really good job of kind of picking things apart and giving a lot |
| 1:07.6 | of suggestions for a lot of different interests. |
| 1:10.4 | And oh, I should probably mention who I have on this episode because it's a brand new guest. |
| 1:15.3 | Her name is Kara Willett, and as you will hear in this episode, we go back a long time, |
| 1:21.0 | like over 30 years. |
| 1:23.2 | So it was so fun to get to have her on the show, talk about books, and really dive into |
| 1:27.9 | some of our favorite audiobooks as I helped suck her in to the whole audio book thing, and |
| 1:33.7 | she has really gotten into it over this past year. |
| 1:36.7 | But before we dive into this episode, I wanted to mention that I've been doing it, you |
| 1:40.0 | guys. |
| 1:41.0 | I have been showing up on YouTube every week for the past couple of weeks, and this Friday, I will actually be doing a plan with me live at 1 o'clock Pacific. So you can join me on there. In the live on YouTube, you can ask your questions. I will show you how I am planning out the next couple of weeks and figuring out my content and my life and all of the things. It's going to be a ton of fun. So you can join me over |
| 2:02.1 | there at YouTube.com slash McKenzie Kappa. But I've been working really hard to try to be more |
| 2:07.7 | consistent at getting out the good content over there in the YouTube waves. I really like |
