Clean070: The End ... For Now | They say all good things must come to an end ... And while this episode isn't necessarily the end of Let It Be forever, it's the end for now. With that in mind, Kelly and Brooke take the opportunity to bring listeners up to speed with everything they've been up to in the six months since last recording. Hint: they've been rather busy! This is a wide-ranging conversation that covers: The realities of dreams coming true How exposed one feels when they have a new book out, much less two The consequences of making hard decisions What to do when you're a self-improvement writer who is struggling to meet their readers where they are ---- Want to stay in touch with Kelly and Brooke? Brooke and Ben will continue to produce the Slow Your Home podcast while in Canada (yes, they're moving to Canada) while the Straight and Curly podcast Kelly co-hosts with Carly Jacobs will continue on into 2018.

Customer Reviews
Insightful from the get go
If you were lucky enough to overhear their conversation in a coffee shop, you'd be changed in some small positive way. So awesome that you can now tune into it every week. Brooke and Kelly are two great minds that riff together in a way that helps to open your own.
Loving so far
Loving the podcast so far. Love the quote from Kelly "Comparison is the theft of joy".
Loving it
It's such a privilege each week to be able to sit down with one of my great mates (and, just quietly, biggest brain-crushes) to go narrow and deep on a big life topic. Every episode almost ends up being a mini-counselling session for me so I hope it gives listeners a similar level of clarity!
