The Noisy Plume - Episode 010

"Living authentically" are words that seem to be thrown around a lot lately in social media. However I'm lacking better words for what I see in Jillian Lukiwski's writing and photography. It was so refreshing to talk with her about her life in Idaho and Washington. She and her smoke jumper husband hunt, fish and grow their own food when possible, and are supporting each other in living out their dreams. I hope you enjoy listening and definitely check out her blog which is full of amazingly gorgeous photos.

Erin Boyle - Episode 006

While living in a small space can seem like a recipe for frustration for some, for others it can feel like a slice of freedom. Erin Boyle of Reading My Tea Leaves joyfully lives in a tiny one bedroom apartment with her husband and small daughter in Brooklyn NY. She shared a bit about their life in a 400 square foot apartment, what is important, living simply, considerations for their relationships in relation to their space and more. I so enjoyed talking with Erin and I hope that you enjoy the conversation!

Erin's Post on Editing Your Wardrobe 

Podcast Love

A few weeks ago, just after launching the podcast, I got an email from iTunes. They wanted to let me know that the podcast would be featured on the New & Noteworthy section. I had read about this while doing research on starting a podcast, learning that it was a very good thing. I was planning to start the podcast slowly and a bit quietly as I got my footing and some experience. But after only two podcasts, there it was, front and center. 

It quickly climbed to over 900 subscribers and I was blown away by the support for the podcast.  At first I was elated, emailing family screen shots and posting to Facebook. By the second day I had this feeling in the pit of my stomach that I was going to royally screw this up. I've been listening to so many entrepreneur podcast lately talking about "imposter syndrome". I really connected with that term. It's something most everyone goes through. I was convinced that everyone was going to subscribe, then unsubscribe a week later.

We made it to the #7 spot on design podcasts...

and #6 on top episodes in the design section as well.

To some extent that has happened, and I'm totally fine with it. I want to truly connect with my listeners and if it isn't what someone is looking for, I get it. It seems to be leveling out a bit now around 600 subscribers. I'm excited to see how it can grow organically (although I think it will be featured once more on iTunes soon, which is great). I've gotten texts, comments and emails from supportive and excited old friends and new friends. I've loved our past guests and am really looking forward to upcoming guests. If you know of someone that you think would be perfect for the show, feel free to let me know!

Tomorrow I'll share some of my favorite podcasts that I listen to. I would love to hear a list of your favorites as well.

Justina Blakeney - Episode 001

It's here! It's here! We are finally airing the first episode of The Honest Home Podcast. I couldn't be happier to kick this off with our first guest, Justina Blakeney. 

I've followed her blog for years now, so I loved talking with Justina. Among other things, we talked about her bold style and if she feels pressure to have a magazine worthy home since she has thousands of blog followers as well as thousands following her on social media. You can listen simply by hitting play below or downloading it. (Available on iTunes soon, working out some of the kinks!)  I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed talking with her. Photos of her fantastic designs below.
