"If you could write about anything you want to write about what would it be?"....

Welcome to Episode #117:

I am excited to introduce you to Janet’s Constantino’s beautiful debut fiction novel 'Becoming Mariella’. This is a deep and rich conversation about her gem of a book and writing journey. We discuss in depth Janet’s Sicilian-American heritage, navigating traditional values and family expectations. 

There are many wonderful tangents in this conversation - we talk travel and Italy and how place can be a powerful magnet without really know why, yet something deep inside of us resonates with certain places. 

We go on a true journey navigating her book ‘Becoming Mariella’ and our personal experiences of following our own paths and breaking free! 

Get ready for a beautiful conversation with two women talking about life, writing, Italy and the journey of Becoming Mariella!
