ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!
I’m excited because today I have another one of my favorite past Girls Night episodes to share with you!
And it’s with two of my very favorite friends here in Nashville, Kailey Dickerson and Hanna Seymour, who also happen to be sisters-in-law! Isn’t that fun?
Kailey is a photographer, a writer, and wife to country artist Russell Dickerson. Hanna is the author of an awesome book called The College Girl’s Survival Guide, and she’s also an incredible mentor, Bible teacher, and basically the big sister we have all always wanted.
In this episode, the three of us got together to answer some of y’alls biggest questions about newlywed life. We chat about everything from how much bickering is normal, to how to deal with finances, to navigating a healthy sex life, and that’s just the beginning. You guys are not going to want to miss out on this conversation!
