We are celebrating Isabel Allende’s newest book – My Name is Emilia del Valle – by listening back to the beautiful conversion she had with Julia in Season 1.

Today on Wiser Than Me, Julia gets schooled by 82-year-old award-winning author Isabel Allende (The House of the Spirits). Isabel enlightens Julia about organic justice, letter writing, and blueberry weed edibles. The two compare notes on everything from postpartum experiences to otherworldly visits from the other side.
