Back To School With BOP: How We Strive To Be Lifelong Learners

This week's episode is all about lifelong learning! While we're not going back to school ourselves, we talk about how we try to incorporate learning into our lives through the excitement of a new hobby, online classes, and non-fiction reading and listening. We also chat about our alternate life college majors, all of Becca's hobby love affairs, and Grace's tendency to fall down an information rabbit hole.

We also hear from YOU about what you do to be lifelong learners! We hear from listeners blogging about women in history, becoming certified yoga teachers, finding out they have a passion for science, and more!

We also catch up on what we did when Grace was in NYC and how our social batteries are LOW.
