WE’RE BACK - WE’RE BETTER - WE’VE GOT A NEW NAME!

Thank you for your support and patience. Tori explains the hiatus as well as the reasoning for this new (albeit temporary) name. And to kick off the comeback, she has something really special for this episode. 

Instead of the usual one-on-one interview, this episode features 6 mini-interviews with some wonderful women, most of who you haven’t met yet!

 

Meet MACKENZIE! She and Tori have recently bonded over the majorly significant and majorly brave life-change she has made. You’ll be proud of her too.

 

Next, BATZY! Batzy is not only a mega interesting person, but she's also Tori’s longtime hairstylist! We all know that our hairstylists are also our closest confidants, so this is a treat. Check out Batzy’s salon Black Swan Salon on Instagram and their website!

 

You’re gonna love guest #3: NUSSAIBA! Six years ago her and Tori met through work (right here at Blackburn!!) and became pretty instant friends. They talk Nussaiba’s upbringing as “the only Arab in Tennessee” and her recent engagement.

 

Speaking of confidants, meet BIANCA! She does a much better job at explaining her title, but know that she is one of the people making our world better via her work as a certified clinical trauma therapist. She is lovely and insightful and SPOILER…next episode’s guest! DEFINITELY check out her website.

 

There’s no introduction needed for this next guest. JENA from Episode 12 joined the group and shared a little (not so little) life update. Let’s be honest: she’s here for a good laugh.

 

Aaaand last but not least, meet ANA! This brief chat actually makes Tori cry. Ana is resilient and insightful, we can’t wait for her to be back!

 

This week’s featured artist: Baker Grace!
