In this special crossover episode, You, Me, and the Writing Journey Podcast host Danielle Render Turmaud speaks with Brenna Jeanneret and Josh Monken, You May Contribute a Verse hosts, around being bravely vulnerable in our writing, coping with the cumulation of passes in this industry, and more! We laughed, we smiled, and Danielle even teared up a little bit. We hope you enjoy it.
