Gracefully and Frankly
Take two radio pals who've lived long enough to know better (but sometimes don't), have gained wisdom, dropped some filters, and just want to talk with you about...everything, and you have the Gracefully and Frankly podcast. Erin and Lisa share personal takes on their AND your experiences, hot topics and a lot of love.
