Free at www.gracefullyandfrankly.com in Ep 181 we talk about GLPs (Ozempic, etc.) and the effects they’re having on clothes, waists and sales.

I learned and changed my ways. Now I'm spreading the word! ~Lisa

Some people aren’t going to like this but it’s a truth I feel strongly about. I learned from those who know and changed my ways. For goodness sake, please stop feeding wild animals. It’s Dangerous When I ate an apple in a car, I used to toss the core in the ditch, reasoning that it […]
