AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Helena Dea Bala

01 Oct 2020

Description

In today’s exceptional author interview episode, Kayla and Emily are sitting down for a great conversation with Helena Dea Bala, author of the fascinating, touching, and vulnerable book, Craigslist Confessional. This book features anonymous stories submitted in response to a Craigslist ad that Helena was inspired to post after a lunchtime conversation with a panhandler near her office. Keep listening to hear about Helena’s journey quitting her job to listen to these anonymous confessions full time, what this project has taught her about empathy and the human condition, and what’s up next with the Craigslist Confessional project. Plus, some really great insight into helping others and processing issues in your own life. And of course, stick around to hear Helena’s go-to beverage and her dirty little secret about her children’s book buying habits. Thanks so much for listening!
