The Dreamer in the Details

Whitney from ThatGirlWhitney is a Southern spitfire with the best fashion sense, taco recipes, and Southern drawl around. However, she is also always ready to talk about the nitty gritty of her life, including her faith and her struggles with infertility.

This week on the podcast, our conversation is focused on her own infertility journey, struggles, and what she wishes other people knew. We have an honest discussion as two women who view the role of family and motherhood very differently.

Whitney is as thoughtful as she is funny and as honest as she is kind. 

Andi Marrs from AndiMarrs is a fashion and lifestyle blogger from North Carolina. Andi's account touches on a myriad of different topics, but one of the things most important to her is her faith.

However, her take on faith isn't what you normally hear from the loudest sect of mainstream Christianity. Andi feels very strongly that her faith calls her to (actually) love all people and that informs her love and support for the queer community.

Andi is on the podcast this week to talk about her journey with her faith, how she has learned to question what powers that be tell her, and how she navigates conversations where she feels like the Bible is incorrectly weaponized to prop up hateful views.

Even though we celebrate pride all year long at The Dreamer in the Details, this episode is a special treat just in time for Pride Month. Megan is the bookstagrammer behind BooksnBlazers who describes her book choices as "if it's gay, gimme" and is on the podcast this week talking about her favorite books, music recommendations, and how the book industry has changed in the almost ten years she's been creating content on Instagram. With her combination of thoughtful commentary plus a joy that seems to emanate from her very core, Megan is your new best friend ready to help you diversify your bookshelf and have a great time doing it.

As a plus sized micro-influencer, Amanda from Amanda Authentically knows the importance of being herself and creating a space online that is all her own. This week on the podcast she discusses how she plans her content, shows up even when she isn't feeling her best, and has made a space online that her younger self would've loved.

Have you ever been singing along to a song and wondered how the writer was brave enough to release it to everyone?

Gina Royale is a singer songwriter who aptly describes herself as the love child between Taylor Swift and Hayley Williams. She uses her pop punk hits to express the highs, the lows, and, sometimes, the guys who have caused both.

She's on the podcast today talking about her history with the music industry, working a second job that also involves music, and her advice for creatives trying to make it in their industry. 

You can learn more about Gina on her website or stream her music on any streaming platform.

Turning your passion into a business can be both a blessing and a curse.

Winston from Winston's Watercolors is here today to talk about his love for art, how his art business found him, and trying to balance his passion for creating with the pressures of selling.

Aside from being an artist, Winston also has a background in law enforcement and was at the United States Capitol on January 6th, 2021 when it was attacked by a riotous mob trying to stop the certification of the free and fair 2020 presidential election. While January 6th is not the focus of our conversation, it is evident in his art and is a part of his story.

With a strong sense of self and an innate desire to help others, let Winston's words inspire you to create and embrace your passions.
