An inspiring, authentic podcast experience where I chat to you about random stuff and topics that you would most likely talk to a friend about. We have all experienced inauthentic and distant relationships in our lives and my hope with this podcast is that this would be a safe space, like you're hearing from one of your close friends through a voicemail or chat. This podcast is for you if you love hearing random stories about life, feeling inspired, love talking about music AND love to laugh while learning along the way. So, come along on this journey together, my friend. Excited to share!

    How Social Media can be a False Sense of Community

    Welcome back friends! It been a while since my last upload, but I am back and ready with some new episodes. Today, I want to talk about social media. We use it, we love it, we hate it. How can we use it authentically? Can we? Or does social media become a place where we show only the highlights and develops this false sense of community? Join me in my discussion on how I want to make connection and encourage you to do the same! Hugs!!

    The Fear Behind Sharing Your Creativity

    I've actually been wanting to start a podcast for a while now. And because of that, I have had a lot of topic ideas! Case and point, I was scrolling through my Notes app the other day and I found an old script from 2019 for a podcast episode on songwriting and the fears of sharing your art. I decided to read this today on a new episode of What I Would Tell My Friend. So, come with me as I read through the thoughts of my younger self on why sharing our creative souls is SO hard to do.

    My Friend Taheera & Agreeing to Disagree with Our Faith

    Welcome Taheera! She is an inspiring author, chef, and contributing artist on a few Act of Nature projects. She is also one of my best friends. We actually had the idea of starting a podcast together years ago so I was thrilled when she was wanting to be my first guest on this podcast. We talk about her and our friendship, the idea of Wednesday Waffles (you can read about it here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/traversmark/2025/01/01/a-psychologist-explains-how-wednesday-waffles-can-save-friendships/) and then all about our faith and our differences in opinion about the church. Come join our discussion together (and some of the hilariously random side notes!).

    Real Talk on Inspiration

    Maybe you can relate: you wanna do the thing, but then you don't feel like doing the thing, but then you wanna do the thing. How does inspiration play into this? How is our view of inspiration helping or hindering? Join me as I chat honestly about inspiration on this first part of a multiple-billion part topic I will be circling back to. AND I wanna hear your thoughts too, what do you think about inspiration when it comes to your passion projects and career?
