Sometimes you don’t know how strongly you feel about something until you hear yourself saying it aloud on a podcast. I got that opportunity today after listening to my interview on Christy Maguire’s podcast Forties Stories—a series about the lives of 40-something women.
We covered my love of acquaintances, why I’m not scared to let new people into my life, why I won’t drive people to the airport, my fear of filler, the emotional energy of running a household, why friends let friends quit, and a whole lot more. It’s not a short interview!
Find the episode and everything you need to know about Forties Stories on Christy’s site. Thanks to Christy for having me as a guest!

Can’t wait to listen to this! Thanks for sharing! (and so funny: i am obsessed with driving people to/picking up from airport!)
Nina, I really enjoyed listening to your interview on this podcast. It was fun learning more about your everyday life and friendships. I didn’t know you tried your hand at novel writing!
Thank you so much for listening!
