Welcome to Half-Read, a book-inspired women’s conversation podcast about relationships, identity, friendship, motherhood, reinvention, and cocktails! Books spark the conversation and the cocktails set the tone. Each week we take a book, pull a theme, mix a cocktail, and explore what it means to change, unravel, grow and re-grow. It's honest, warm, sometimes funny, but always real – like sitting with your best friends who say the truth out loud. Pour a drink, open a chapter (or don't) and join us as we figure it out one conversation at a time. The No-Book Book Club! Hosted by: Meg, Leia, & Lisa
