Episode 378
Sunday, 25 January, 2026

Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with Barbara Caver, a film and television production executive, passionate traveler, and first-time memoirist. Her debut memoir, A Little Piece of Cuba, weaves together Cuban heritage, family memory, and a life-changing trip in a way that resonates far beyond cultural boundaries.In our conversation, Barbara and I talk openly about the creative process, emotional roadblocks, and how lived experience slowly becomes a finished book. What emerged is a powerful reminder for aspiring authors: memoir isn’t about recording everything that happened — it’s about listening to what memory insists on telling.Timestamp:00:00 Cuban heritage memoir journey06:15 Writing progress through collaboration06:56 Writing, reflection, and evolving stories12:17 Overcoming challenges to keep writing16:26 From idea to published book18:49 Second-generation language struggles22:51 Memoir and memory’s subjectivity23:46 Cinder Bottom: a fictional memoir27:13 Unintentional intimacy in writing33:05 Daily writing builds momentum35:00 Seeing and describing deeper37:32 Author updates and Substack contentFull show notesCOMMUNITY PROGRAMS📚 Write and Publish your bookCONNECT📷 Instagram🎬 TikTok👫🏻 Facebook💼 LinkedIn🐦‍⬛ Twitter🤝🏻 Apply to be a GuestLEAVE A REVIEW✍🏻 Review on Apple Podcasts✍️ Review on Spotify🖱️ Episode Webpage
