If I have learned anything in business, it’s essential to show up with a clear idea of what you want to do with your space and let your people know too.

The MomAdvice Book Gang Podcast is a new weekly podcast dedicated to the literary tastemakers of the world and I couldn’t be MORE excited to share it with you.

As your tour guide, I hope to offer lots of fresh perspectives on books you may have already read and new book recommendations with a particular focus on debuts, under-the-radar book choices and helping you expand your book stack with backlist selections.

I’m avoiding the well-known hyped books because (for me) the thrill is in the discovery of new talent that we need to share more of.

Episodes will drop every Friday morning, and I promise this should be listed on every platform this week! If you prefer to upload it directly, here is the RSS feed to add it to your favorite podcast player.
