Well, after four years of Louisiana Ladies, we have decided to take a little break. As hard as it is to take a step back from the mic, it is definitely needed. Between Melissa and Lainey working at a CPA firm during our busiest time of year, and Kate constantly being busy, we decided that a podcast pause was in order. This is not goodbye forever! We will still be active on social media, continue our book club and lagniappe, and build this community. We can't wait to record episodes again one day, but until then, we have four years worth of episodes y'all can revisit (or catch up on)! Thank you ..read more
