Hey there! Today's episode of Talk Wordy was full of laughs, going down memory land, and chatting all things therapy and romance with bestselling author Vanessa Zian! It was so fascinating to pick her brain about juggling two careers, weaving her work as a therapist into her romance novels, and turning a dream of writing books into a reality. Thanks for tuning in! (Recorded January 2025)

Today's episode of Talk Wordy covers nearly every detail of my trip to Lark and Owl books to see Christine Riccio on her tour stop for THIRTY FLIRTY AND FOREVER ALONE. My friends and I have watched Christine and Natasha for over a decade and they proved to be some of the nicest and most high energy people out there. Nothing but love and compliments! Tune in for a full story time and stay until the end for a VERY special Talk Wordy announcement! Thanks for watching (Recorded January 2026).

Podcast all the time, Pop Culture Catch-up occasionally!

Welcome back to Talk Wordy, my hub for all the words I read, write, or otherwise want to yap about! 

This episode kicks off a new, recurring series that all be doing monthly called POP CULTURE CATCH-UP! At the end of each month, I'll share everything I've gleaned from the bookish, movie, tv, and music world so that if you missed anything (or didn't care to stay in the know), all you have to do is stream the episode and you'll be caught up!

PSA: Two pieces of news that I did NOT cover due to memory lapse and the fact that I recorded on 1/29 as opposed to the very last day of the month are Harry's new single Apeture, his album release date, and the passing of movie and tv icon Catherine O'Hara. Please do not go nuts if you finish the episode and realize I left them out haha.

Thanks for tuning in! (Recorded January 2026)
