It's Samantha Berger, Part 2! And the end of the #BeforeBrenna times!

One small rumination on genuineness: not only did I wring an hour and a half out of her (today's ep being the latter half of that interrupted conversation), but Samantha Berger followed up, unbidden, with me in one of the most encouraging emails I've ever received. Encouraging both in its content and in the "trails of glitter" consistency of character that Sam showed in bothering to write and send it.

I won't share it here, but I will summarize it because a lot of it was SO consistent with what we're trying for with this podcast.

YOU are uniquely YOU.

Your work is best when it builds on your passion.

Passion worked is passion honed.

Don't let that work become joyless or humorless - keep it light and fun.

No one but you can tell the stories inside you.

You may contribute a verse!
