Unicorn Hollow Podcast

Season 1, Ep 11 is here and this one is pure, return-to-childhood fun. Ever since he cackled along with my first “Sippy Cup Gang” podcast episode back in January, Leo has wondered out loud in my general vicinity, “Huh. I wonder what it would be like to be on Mom’s podcast….” “Would you like to go on my podcast, Leo?” I would always ask. “NO! No! No…?” he’d always say. Although the third “no” alway...

Season 1, Ep 10 is here and if you ever needed a legitimate reason to disappear into a book, this is it! A quick reminder that you can listen to this right on Substack or wherever you get your podcasts. The last month has felt filled with stupid things that make me hate adulting (a never-ending-and-expensive battle with sewage, insurance, graduation prep, medical visits, an eternal fount of paperw...

Season 1, Ep 9 is here. For anyone who has worried that the creative window has passed you by, this one’s for you! A quick reminder that you can watch above or listen to this right on Substack and wherever you get your podcasts. In all my 45 years of life, I never once thought I’d be sitting next to my dad, Kim Wilde, in a slightly-too-close-for-either-of-our-comfort setup and talking about art ....

Season 1, Ep 8 is here and wow - what an incredible night with Chris B. Writes ! I felt like I was soaking in wisdom at a poetry masterclass, breaking down in a therapy session, and laughing in a cozy pub with a good friend. Chris is a master at inviting us into the tension between hard and hope . We talked about 1980s vocab workbooks & high school creative writing, Bon Jovi & My Girl , and 9/11 &...

Season 1, Ep 7 is here & I am super excited to share this tea time conversation with my baby sister, Laura, about all things opera and thank you SO MUCH to everyone who popped on to listen yesterday! Laura chats about her journey from Sibling Sabotage Expert in small town South Dakota to International Opera Soprano. She gives us a glimpse into her love of unglamorous (and often lonely) work of sin...

Hey y’all! Welcome to the Unicorn 🦄 Hollow Podcast + Friday Finds where I share slightly snarky stories and small things that give me hope as a writer, creator, and slightly messy human. Happy almost end of January! I am coming to you from East Tennessee where we are currently getting a large amount of snow. On the podcast this week, I’m sharing one more practice that helps make space for growth...

Today, I’m bringing you a little bit of humor. Because humor, too, can be hope. Sometimes, I think it’s the first hope-practice to go when things feel dark. A quick reminder that you can listen to this right on Substack or wherever you get your podcasts. For the next few weeks, while I’m getting all my systems in place, my writing themes solidified, and technology “figured out,” and my latest manu...

Season 1, Ep 4 is here & this week, I chatted live with David McIlroy . Despite The Dratted Internet’s best attempts to destroy my connection, we prevailed and had a fantastic conversation. We talk about David’s journey from struggling to make ends meet as a freelance writer expounding the many astonishing qualities of mattresses to building a successful writing career with over 33,000 subscribers...

Season 1, Ep 3 is here & honesty time. Today’s podcast is going to start out dark. But for anyone who pays attention to news in the United States, that probably won’t be a surprise. My husband grew up in the Minneapolis suburbs. I spent the better part of a decade living and working in and around Minneapolis. For my entire 25-year public health career, I was honored to have some of the most dedica...

Season 1, episode 2 is here! Hey there, my fellow wanderers! It’s only Tuesday, and boy, does everything look dead! This week has already felt heavy for me all around: the world, parenting, partnering, friends, & family. And, just to add that little sprinkle of annoyance on the heaviness: the dogs were just bathed last week and already smell like they found some delightfully putrid cologne to roll...

Welcome to my very first foray into podcasting! This is the audio from my Substack Live from earlier today PLUS my shiny, new theme song! I not only managed to figure out audio editing, but I also figured out how to put my podcast episodes on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube like a real-life adult! Unicorn Hollow’s January Theme: But Everything Looks Dead! This month, I’ll be focusing on the hard lesso...
