Episode Four :: Caroline Starr Rose

Erin Goodman — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:26:38 +0000

I have had the pleasure of communicating with Caroline Starr Rose via blog comments and e-mail exchanges for several years, but to finally get to speak with her was a dream come true.

Caroline’s first novel, May B., which is written in gorgeous flowing verse, was released last month and in this episode of Behind the Blog Caroline and I talk writing, mothering, perseverance and following our dreams — and much, much more!

This show was recorded in January, 2012 and is just over 40 minutes long.

* * * * *

Caroline Starr Rose spent her childhood in the deserts of Saudi Arabia and New Mexico, camping at the Red Sea in one and eating red chile in the other. As a girl, she danced ballet, raced through books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, and put on magic shows in a homemade cape. She has taught social studies and English, and worked to instill in her students a passion for books, an enthusiasm for experimenting with words, and a curiosity about the past.

She lives in New Mexico with her husband and two sons.

Episode Three :: Nicola Alesandrini

I truly don’t remember how I first connected with Nicola of Which Name? but what I do remember is feeling an instant connection to her and her family.

I love Nicola’s writing, her photography, her recipes, her tutorials…but most of all, I love her honesty and her beautiful outlook on life.

In this podcast Nicola and I talk budgeting, birthday parties, privacy and photo permission. (And so much more.)

This show was recorded in December, 2011 and is just over 40 minutes long.

* * * * *

Nicola lives in Northern California with her husband and two young children.

Her family strives toward balance in their frugal and earth friendly urban life. She spends her days chasing kids, enjoying bits of nature, and avoiding laundry.

She writes and crafts whenever she can squeeze it in and she blogs about it all at Which Name?

I first met Tara Wagner though our mutual friend Hillary Boucher’s blog.

I loved reading Tara’s thoughtful comments and was instantly drawn to this beautiful ray of light. We became blogging pals and e-mail friends and I’ve also had the pleasure of working with her as a coach.

In this podcast Tara and I talk unschooling, money blocks, managing e-mail and moving forward with our dreams, as well as slammed doors, raised voices and life in an RV.

This show is just over 40 minutes long and was recorded in November, 2011.

Episode One :: Hannah Marcotti

Erin Goodman — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 03:18:41 +0000

When I first began to dream up this podcast, I immediately thought of Hannah; my dear friend, colleague, coach and constant source of inspiration.

In this, the first ever episode of Behind the Blog, Hannah and I talk authenticity, blogging boundaries and the realities of working from home. (Among other things.)

And I think you are really going to like what she has to say.

This show was recorded in June, 2011.

Hannah Marcotti is the inspiring voice behind Mama Space. She is a creator of joy whose Soul purpose is guiding women to find the gorgeous life they dream of; taking a tiny spark of passion and helping to ignite it into fireworks.

She is also wife to Patrick, who has recently started sharing his wisdom in Daddy Space, and a mother of three wildly fierce and independent children.
