Writing a story can seem effortless once it’s printed, bound in a beautiful cover, filled with sweetness, meaning, and purpose. But what is it really like to imagine a story from nothing—wrestling with it, nearly abandoning it at times, and then finding the strength to keep going?

In this episode, author Elliot A. Herland opens up to Lisa about the honest truth behind his process of writing two beautiful children’s books alongside his daughters. He shares how he emerged from that struggle with stories that teach children how to love, how to live fully, and how to care for themselves with pride and joy.
