People-Inspired Podcast
Connecting with people is like a vitamin B injected advanced Google search, except better. Inspiration fuels the creative process, and there is little that excites me more than interesting people who teach me something new (which is pretty much anyone I run into these days).
Join me for this People-Inspired Podcast where I get to talk to inspiring people about what and who inspired them. We will fill the tank and crank that flywheel, proving that one person's story is often all you need to get things rolling.
People ask about what sparked my debut novel, Back to Blue Holly, and the answer is easy. The book is place and PEOPLE-inspired. I relied heavily upon the stories I collected traveling Kentucky with artist Kelly Brewer, painting and interviewing people from all walks of life for our Common Wealth of Kentucky Project (2022). And equally influential were the good folks I am lucky to know (or heard about) in the North Georgia region.
And as I write my next novel, I'm back to being nosy Beth, poking around, asking lots of questions, and mining the unsearchable, compelling gems I cannot find anywhere else than in the people I talk to.

There's Power in the Pivot with Guest Trisha Addicks
Today, I'm excited to spend time with my inspiring friend, Trisha Addicks, whom I knew in an early chapter of my life at the University of Georgia as Trisha Grode, friend and Chi Omega sorority pledge sister. I didn't know then that Trisha would go on to make Greek Life her purpose, but her passion for helping young women all over the country manage the rush process and beyond truly inspires me.
Trisha created the Rush consulting space in 2017 and owns It's All Greek to Me Rush consulting. She's also a weekly podcast host, has a book coming out, The Rush Bible, coming out next spring, and is in feature film development with Elizabeth Banks and Brownstone Productions.
Trisha inspires me for many reasons we discuss in the podcast, but mainly because she is an excellent example of the power of the pivot. Her story turned into a thriving business thirty years later where she helps young women all over the country navigate the now ramped-up universe of sorority rush. Join Trisha and me in a fun conversation about life's pivots and inspiration.
