Summary

It's our final episode of 2025 and we have so much to share with you. Our featured book this week is Malala's new memoir. Kaitlin reminisces about teaching Malala's heroic story to her students and we discuss the many relatable moments Malala shares from parental pressure to first crushes to trying to fit in at college. We admire her vulnerability in sharing about her anxiety and PTSD, and talk about how she stays motivated to fight for women and girls in a world that is constantly trying to extinguish her passion. In our catch up this week, Steph updates us about the first week of Golden Hour being out in the world, Kaitlin hits a few winter holiday markets, and Molly admits to falling down the hockey romance/Heated Rivalry rabbit hole. In what we're reading this week, Steph got her hands on the new Callie Hart book, Molly is moved by the poet Kate Baer, and Kaitlin is giddy thanks to Lynn Painter's Fake Skating.
