Lunchtime Quickies Podcast

Hello lovelies! What a year 2020 has been so far, right? As we wrap up Season 2 here at the Lunchtime Quickies podcast, we can't help but reflect on all that we have learned since January.

We are super proud of this season and hope you'll check out some of the episodes you might have missed. We are so looking forward to Season 3 so stay tuned! As always, wishing you so much love, health and happiness! xoxo Check out Betsy's interview on the New Truth Podcast Here
