Hi guys! BIG life updates over here beyond the pod. Feeling nosy about my personal and professional life? This is the episode for you. Thanks for tuning in! (Recorded September 2026).

Friends, I'm still flailing from the passing of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry in the span of 24 hours, so here are my unsolicited picks for who we need to pray for and keep on a VERY close watch. Celebrity deaths are like the cherry on top to my first year teaching stress, and I'd like to go ONE WEEK without tragic news. Do you agree with my picks? Thanks for tuning in!

FRIENDS!!! WELCOME TO SEASON THREE OF TALK WORDY!!! Can't believe we're one year and 70 episodes deep into this thing, as it's such a passion of mine. Today's episode is with my lovely friend Nikki as we chat all about her debut novel, A SECOND SHOT. Her and I are both authors AND photographers, so it was so fun getting to gab on and on about shared passions, secret projects, and just gush over our friendship. Couldn't have picked a better episode to kick off season 3 with.
