In my writings, I have always said that each of our paths are connected more than anyone may realize.
But the truth is, we ALL have hopes. We each have dreams. We have ambitions, eagerness and desire.
And when we harness that positivity, THAT is when we can inspire.
We each bring to life’s dinner table a bounty of beautifully diverse talents, passions and energy that can help so many people.
Life is so much more than just a blog. It’s also Unafraid, Unique & Unscripted: a NolaPapa Podcast.
Episode One of Season One:
Erik catches up with New Orleans’ Talk show and culinary queen, Poppy Tooker about her newest cookbooks only to find out that her fabulous guardian angels helped her write it!
She literally made me cry many, many tears.
Then, Erik meets up with his friend, Nikki Rockwood, a local NICU nurse and contributor to The New Orleans Mom, theneworleansmom.com.
Nikki opens up to me about her own path and how a tragedy in her life helped to direct her on her current 14-year-long journey to self-discovery, family and babies.
Later, I open up about how I became a writer and how a national platform and website called Gays With Kids, gayswithkids.com, allowed me to write for them when our first child was born.
Now, writing for them 5 years, I am honored to welcome the Co-Founder of GWK, Brian Rosenberg! I get to talk to him about his BEAUTIFUL and inspiring story of family building and constructing what is today the largest platform for gay dads and gay dads to be in the country!
Brian will also set up the future segments with this incredible opportunity to speak to gay dads from all over the country- speaking about their own journeys, milestones and heartbreaks.
Prepare yourself. Tissues.
And lastly, I bet you don’t even know I live in New Orleans BECAUSE OF THE REAL WORLD. Yes- The Real World: New Orleans more specifically.
And because of that, I have a DEEP fascination with Real World, most game shows, and reality tv.
This segment is where I find those people that I personally love.
Today, I found my friend, Trishelle!!!!!!! From The Real World: Las Vegas!!!!
Yaassss! We drink wine and discuss her new show, baby making??? And future reality show plans!!??!!
