In episode 92 of Hashtag No Filter Julie sits down with Helena Dea Bala, author of Craigslist Confessional, a collection of secrets from anonymous strangers. Helena was a lawyer and lobbyist in Washington, D.C. and wanted to do something more meaningful, and so she did. And it all started with a Craigslist ad.

Listen to Julie and Helena talk all about her new book, how it came to be and the story behind it, how she pivoted from being a lawyer and lobbyist, what this project is all about, her favorite stories from it, what Helena has learned about herself throughout it, the difference between being judgmental and being curious, and so much more.
