This week, we're joined by special guest Jaya Saxena, senior writer at Eater and author of several books, most recently “Crystal Clear: Extraordinary Talismans for Everyday Life.” We dive into the ninth chapter of Little Women, "Meg Goes to Vanity Fair," where, in Jaya’s words, “Meg goes to a party and learns to never want anything ever again.” You can visit Jaya online at jayasaxena.com and on Twitter at @jayasax.
