I stumbled upon her work in one of the blogging groups we both are members of and I have been following her since then. There I have seen how amazing she is at what she does, how she does things, how clear her mind is and how confident she is. She has an e-book then which I loved so much I read it in one sitting.

Then she launched her podcast. I started listening to it too and it inspired me to launch mine too. Even before that, I was wondering how I could connect with her but I was also not used to having a conversation when it comes to my creative pursuits probably because there’s no one in my circle who’s been doing it and there has been a period in my life where I totally shut down to purge, process and heal a lot of things.

My heart was racing before clicking the e-mail Send button but my heart raced even more when she agreed to the interview. I had no problems composing e-mails and exchanging written correspondences but giving my innermost thoughts and questions a voice was something that I have yet to get over.
