In this episode, we cover:
- The gift and curse of the multi-hyphenated mother plusser: As someone who does a little bit of this and a little bit of that, Steph shares how having a "cobbled together career" sometimes makes her feel like less of a real adult, and how challenging it can be to be pulled in multiple directions.
- Sometimes our intuition speaks to us through our bodies. After losing her voice seven times in a year, Steph realized it was time to change directions, take a break from teaching music classes, and finally write the book she's been dreaming about for nine years.
- The "Who Cares?" factor: as mothers, it's so easy to discount both our struggles and the importance of our stories. On this podcast, we are trying hard to stop minimizing our needs and diminishing the value of putting ourselves into the world, no disclaimers, no apologies, and Steph talks about how this relates to finding the real purpose of her book.
- Find out how Stephanie's nostalgia pilgrimage idea turned into something deeper, thanks to her experience in therapy.
- Steph talks about overcoming her discomfort that writing a memoir is a navel-gazing and self-indulgent pursuit, and reminds us that when we put our truths and our stories out there, the impact stretches far and wide: to our families, to readers, and to our community in general. There is always universality in the stories we share.
In this Steph solo episode, we talk about career changes, following our intuition, and gazing at our navels. Steph talks about her big plan to write a book this summer, and encourages listeners to follow along on this podcast and her Substack: https://stephsprenger.substack.com/. Find out how the idea for her book was born, and how it evolved over nine long years before the time was finally right to start writing it.
