Memoirs

In the course of a twenty-year friendship, podcasters Jenny Kelly and Mairead Ronan have experienced single life, career highs, break-ups, make-ups, marriages, divorce, motherhood, death, diets, hair styles, stress, ageing, lifestyle dilemmas, sadness and lots and lots of good times too. Of a middling age, and after years of talking (and cups of tea), they no longer sweat the small stuff. Now! is full of their down-to-earth advice on the serious (and sometimes funny) business of life.
