Send us Fan Mail
This episode is very near and dear to my heart because I had the blessing of interviewing a friend of mine who I have known since elementary school. This is now the second "Samantha" I've had on the podcast... and I will be interested to analyze the differences between the two. There were some great perspectives shared throughout this episode. We even talk about the idea of names in heaven... I hope you will give it a listen.

February 08, 2025 S3.69 - What's in a Name... "Nancy"
Send us Fan Mail
I honestly don't think I have ever had a stronger connection with a complete stranger than I had in interviewing Nancy. The name 'Nancy" means "grace," "favored," or "pure" and originates from England. I absolutely adored our conversation... Nancy is an excellent story teller and communicator. I hope you will give it a listen - she was pretty great. So many great "light bulb" moments!!

Send us Fan Mail
The name Eric is a masculine name of Norse origin that means "sole ruler" or "eternal ruler". It comes from the Old Norse word Eirikr, which is made up of the words ei meaning "ever" or "alone" and ríkr meaning "rule". I really enjoyed this interview... there were a lot of enlightening moments. These types of episodes keep my fire lit for onomatology.
