0:00.0	You're listening to Satellite Sisters. What's a Satellite Sister? The person you call
0:09.0	when the best thing in your life happens or the worst. The person that gets you up gets
0:13.2	you going and gets you through. And every once in a while, changes your mind.
0:17.8	This podcast is part pep talk, part weekly check in. Like grab and coffee with a friend.
0:22.4	Thanks for being here. Welcome to the Satellite Sisterhood.
0:29.9	You are listening to Satellite Sisters. Great to be with you today. I'm Leanne Dolan in Pasadena,
0:35.0	California. I'm a writer, producer, I'm the youngest sister. And I am the proud owner of a new
0:40.1	witch's hat. So just wondering, did you get your Halloween costume yet, girls? Liz, what'd you do?

1:33.6	Your house sounds fun. I have very, I keep out very good candy. Well, that's excellent.
1:42.4	All right. Today on the show, Julie, you're bringing Tuesday trends. Can't wait. That's right at
1:46.6	the top of the show. Also a hard-hitting discussion on coffee table books. Never discuss coffee
1:52.8	table books. It's a controversy now. You have to take a side. Yes or no?
2:02.8	Speaking of books, we have author Laura Galloway joining us. She spent six years living
