”Now, every time I witness a strong person, I want to know: What dark did you conquer in your story? Mountains do not rise without earthquakes.” (Katherine MacKenett) We all experience hard times but those troubles can create depth of character, resilience, empathy, and so much more--if we let them work within us for that purpose. Join me and a variety of guests every Thursday as we talk about our identity within motherhood through the lens of adversity.

Weaving Community through Writing // with Stephen Klopfenstein

Wednesday Oct 18, 2023

Author S.A. Klopfenstein shares with us some aspects of his writing process and how it relates to community. Stephen emphasizes the importance of authors in the community and the power of stories in offering different perspectives. He primarily writes fiction, specifically sci-fi and fantasy, and gets his ideas from various sources, including his own imagination, other authors, and his love for the mountains and nature. Stephen discusses the challenges of writing and creating content that audiences love, highlighting the importance of overcoming hurdles like finishing a draft and consistently writing. He also notes the joy of instilling a love for books and stories in his children.

Stephen has a Kickstarter going right now for a special edition version of his first book in the Shadow Watch Saga. If you're local, join us for a book signing at the Daybreak Biscott's location on November 4th, 2023 from 10:00am-12:00pm.

Venues and Gathering

Wednesday Oct 11, 2023

Why are venues important to the events you host/attend? It all comes down to the type of vibe you want to create. In "The Art of Gathering", author Priya Parker talks about how the size of your gathering impacts the type of experience you want to have. I share some ideas of events that I would love to have in a future event center.

My ultimate dream would be to have a place where women could gather with a daycare/preschool attached to the back so that a childcare option would be available. But I'm willing to start small and grow along the way!

Thursday Sep 21, 2023

I'm all about empowerment and a "get-it-done" attitude! But what about when we do have to rely on others? In this episode, we talk about our values, the way we personally operate, quotes that reinforce our stories, and how to let others in when needed. Thank you for joining me!
