Peggy and Jenny Meet Their Online Pretend Best Friend – 048
In Episode 48, we share all the fun from our road trip to Detroit to see our online pretend best friend Gretchen Rubin and her sister Elizabeth Craft at their live Happier podcast event.
We were soooo excited about every part of this adventure and in this podcast you’ll hear some of our random conversation in the car on the way there and back as well as some audio that we recorded in the event itself!
The audio isn’t great because we were in the car and because I was using the microphone from my iPhone. It’s still worth a listen though so check it out!
