An Ordinary World Story Cellar with Christine & Rebecca

Stories of inspiration that highlight how we are all connected in this world. We wanted to use this space and this podcast to discuss what inspires us. Christine’s story and all the people involved in saving one life is an example of the type of narratives that stop us in our tracks and make us want to know these people and their stories.

We want to provide a place for honest conversations about walking through this thing called life.

We are Christine and Rebecca, and our journey together started in a decommissioned army base in Lakeside, MT in 1994. We spent six months building a friendship that would last a lifetime.

“Nothing is Wrong with You” Book Podcast.

Three avid readers host a podcast about being readers to investigate their interactions with books: this includes a close look at books that people rave about, and we couldn’t even finish, and why we continue to follow writers when we have only liked their early books. It is also a place where we shine a light on the unseen or underappreciated books we fell in love with.

First Episode will be out October 25, 2024

Lit Illumination with Rebecca Beardsall - coming soon!

Welcome to Lit Illuminated. Join me as I pull a book off the shelf of my library and share my study of patterns and insights with you. Whether you’re a bibliophile, a casual reader, or someone who simply loves a good story, this podcast promises to be an enlightening journey through pages.

We will delve deep into fiction, nonfiction, and sometimes poetry, offering comprehensive literary analysis. Each episode will bring thoughtful discussion and critical insights as we unravel the layers of narrative, themes, and characters that make literature captivating.

As a fellow book lover, I know the joy of being lost in the world of books. I’m thrilled to have you join me on this journey with Lit Illuminated, where we celebrate the sheer pleasure of reading and exploring literature.

Tune in, and let’s turn the page together.

I decided to sit myself in the middle of the story and move it back and forth around me. Patricia Grace

We want to provide a place for honest conversations about walking through this thing called life.

We are Christine and Rebecca, and our journey together started in a decommissioned army base in Lakeside, MT in 1994. We spent six months building a friendship that would last a lifetime. Originally from Montana and Pennsylvania, we dreamed of living in the same city at some point in our lives. As women in our early 20s, we thought that life would include being baristas in Seattle together. That dream of young women taking on the city never happened, but in 2011, we finally achieved living in the same city – Bellingham, WA.

Our joint love of the theatre and the arts has kept us connected throughout the years. We always knew we would work together on a creative project. We never imagined the project would be rooted in Christine’s cancer diagnosis and her connection with Be The Match. However, this is the path that brought us to this podcast—a space to share the stories of the lives touched by the Minneapolis, Minnesota-based donor program.

As empathic, curious individuals, we find inspiration in the stories of others. So, we welcome you to this podcast, and we hope you enjoy delving into the concept of inspiration and how people find a way to thrive and support others in this world.
