  • Fun, Feel-Good, and Inspiring

    This podcast is great for writers and non-writers alike. Lizzy and Hazel have great rapport and it’s so fun to listen to them discuss how their challenges impact their writing, for better or for worse. The thing I get most out of this podcast is listening to them model a supportive relationship where they encourage each other to both strive for and be realistic about their writing goals and how writing fits into their busy daily lives.

  • 11/10 would listen to again

    Lizzy and Hazel have been the dulcet voices slowly pulling me from a writer's block induced death. I'm not quiet in the clear yet, but I am relistening to their episodes to do each challenge properly. Their encouraging, positive and lively banter is as fresh the second time around as it is inspirational. This show is truly like having writing friends I can take anywhere as I try to write again.

  • Inspirational writing podcast!

    This fun podcast is the perfect inspiration I need each week to open my laptop and write. It's aimed at writers, but helps anyone who is looking to get their creative juices flowing. Lizzy and Hazel (the co-hosts) keep the episodes focused, sharp, and funny! Highly recommend for writers and creatives!
