This episode features my lifelong best friend and author Erin Petti! Erin shares part of her journey in becoming a writer of middle grade fiction and finding "magic in the middle" by revisiting the liminal spaces of adolescence. She has made it her creative mission to encourage confidence in her writing students because of the abundance of support she received growing up from her parents and mentors. Featuring shout outs to our hometown, yoga practice and ghost stories, Erin's passion for creativity and empowerment is both inspiring and accessible.
