Loved interviewing @pamelapower for this podcast 👏Some really great insights in here on her approach to drinking less and what it taught her along the way 🍷

South African readers who have read and loved #ChasingMarian. . .the kindest thing you could do to help our international launch is post a review or rating on Amazon and Goodreads.

And this is why we love and adore her and had to write a book about her. Because it doesn't matter what's happening in her own life, she ALWAYS finds time to support other authors.

So excited to be here @CapeFlatsBF at the session with @KarinaMSzczurek and @kreefkerrie
As Karina said to introduce the session: ‘Thank you for being here and not at church. We’ll try to be as spiritual as possible.’
