That Nashville Girl
“Are you that Nashville girl with the podcast?”
Yep — that’s me.
I’m the girl you see around town with the (patent-pending) bob. The one who can’t stop talking about the artist I just discovered or the songwriter I caught at a writer’s round that somehow changed my life a little. I pick my favorite athletes based on their charities and personalities — not just what they do on the field. And when I go out, I notice everything… the service, the drinks, the lighting, the energy, who’s sitting where and why.
Basically, I’m your unofficial Nashville bestie.
The one who tells you who to listen to before they blow up.
Who you should be paying attention to (and why).
And what actually lives up to the hype in a city that has a lot of it.
And each week, I sit down with someone in this city you might already know — or absolutely should — and we get into the stories, the moments, and the behind-the-scenes stuff that makes you feel like you’re a little more in it than everyone else.
It’s fun, it’s real, it’s a little unfiltered… and it’s the Nashville I love so much!
