Instagram Envy, Scandal, and Starting Over! Novelist Vicki Notaro Joins Us On Her New Book
Weekend Breakfast with Alison CurtisShow Notes
Alison Curtis is joined live in studio by Vicki Notaro — podcaster, broadcaster and bestselling author — for a chat packed with laughs, life, and a little bit of home-reno realness (minimalist vs maximalist!).
Vicki talks about her third novel, 'Anywhere But Here'. It focuses on female friendships, identity, and that “crossroads” moment many women feel around 40 — with freedom, choice, and pressure all colliding.
They also dig into comparison culture, Instagram’s happiness-leaching scroll, public scandal, and why Donegal is the perfect escape… even when your problems follow you!
Plus: writing advice, publishing nerves, and the crucial question — Mayo or Kerry?
NOTE: BOTH Alison and Vicki forgot to bring the book for the obligitary photo with book! So they have invisible copies!! :-D
