Overshare: Get to Know Your Hosts Rita and Marisa

People at the Core

We do not have a guest this week, it's just us!*
Flipping the page, we muse over the scribbles and chords that charted our course to becoming writers. From childhood musings to the raucous challenges of adulthood, every word we've penned pulses with life's rich tapestry. Listen as we unfold the layers of our creative evolution, from piano keys and letters to Santa, to the vibrant tales that now dance upon the pages of our lives. It's a reflection ripe with nostalgia and an earnest discussion of how persistence in our passions keeps the ink flowing, even amidst life's relentless pace.
Our stories both began in the MidWest but took many different twists and turns to bring us to the backroom of The Palace in Brooklyn, where we record this podcast. In this episode, we don't hold back as we talk travel, imposter syndrome, mental health struggles and friendships with brutal honesty.
*Please be patient with us as we improve our recording and editing techniques and equipment. We appreciate you all hanging in there as we continue to learn and grow.
