401 | A Little Dolly, A Little NYC & A Lot of Cozy

Welcome back, WIFs!

This week, Lauren and Michelle are talking about the people, places, stories, and simple pleasures that make life a little more meaningful.

They start with a cozy catch-up from Lauren’s time in New York City for the Yahoo Nonfiction Hotlist, where she found herself delighted by everything from the subway and the unexpected kindness of strangers.

Then the conversation turns to Dolly Parton and the many layers of a woman who became so much more than a music icon.

From the story behind “I Will Always Love You” to the millions of books connected to her Imagination Library, there is plenty to appreciate about the woman behind the wigs and rhinestones.

And, of course, they wrap things up with their simple joys of the week—because sometimes the smallest moments, like grocery shopping with your kid or watching your children genuinely enjoy each other’s company, end up being the ones you remember most.

Press play, get cozy, and settle in for a conversation about looking beyond the surface, appreciating the stories behind the people we admire, and finding a little more joy in the everyday.
