The Story Behind the Story: Author Interview Series with Sierra Melcher

Featuring  Josephine Kalagira  (Episode 15 )

Josephine Sandra Kalagira is a mother, Author, Speaker, Empowerment Mentor, and known as the Setback to Comeback Queen. She believes that when we go through adversities in life, it can be extremely challenging and difficult, but can be eased when we identify a reason bigger than ourselves to compel us never to give up on ourselves and dreams. She believes that when we accept and embrace who we really are and what we have been through as our authentic self, we become empowered and genuinely learn to take ownership of our lives. 

Josephine believes that despite our physical or emotional health challenges, they cannot define us or our future if we do not allow it. As a result of her lived experience, she felt called to help support others living with physical or emotional adversities to Thrive and Shine through their setbacks by sharing her story, lessons, advice, and tips with ease.

The Story Behind the Story: Author Interview Series with Sierra Melcher

Featuring   Leslie Sommers  (Episode 12 )

In this episode, Sierra and the author of the trilogy “Brighde Reborn: The Amulet Series”, Leslie Sommers, give the most grounding insights about bringing a book to life. They share some practical tips that will help authors direct their choices and feel less alone in the process of writing and publishing their books.  

"One of my favorite quotes for anybody who’s struggling with her writing is 'the easiest and the hardest thing to do is to sit down at your typewriter and write.' It is so painfully hard, but it is true, you just have to sit down and write." -Leslie

Meet the guest:

Brighde Reborn is Leslie and Janice Sommers' first novel of a planned trilogy book series. Besides writing, Leslie loves traveling and singing. She was bitten by the travel bug after going to Ireland for the first time and since then she has visited Cuba, London, Sicily, and Scotland. Leslie is also a very gifted singer (classically trained for all genres) who has been cast as well as hired to sing throughout New Jersey and New York for concerts, cabarets, and weddings. Like Bridget, Leslie was born and raised in New Jersey and she inherited her love of reading from her mother. 

Janice is a classically trained ballerina and has danced in Lincoln Center. After completing her Education degree, she focused on taking care of her family and encouraging her children to follow their dreams. Her passion for books and music was passed on to the next generation and, like Leslie, Janice has also found a love for traveling after recently going to the UK and Sicily with her family.

The Story Behind the Story: Author Interview Series with Sierra Melcher 

Featuring   Gabrielle Stone  (Episode 10 ) 

        Gabrielle Stone is no stranger to the world of entertainment. Growing up on set with her legendary scream-queen mother, Dee Wallace (Cujo, E.T.), she had days of licking off mommy’s fake blood and watching behind-the-scenes movie magic. Seeing the world with mom and dad gave her the travel bug at an early age—until Gabrielle experienced a real-life horror when she lost her father suddenly at age seven.  

        After many years in the industry herself, Stone transitioned from meaty acting roles to writing and directing. Her award-winning films It Happened Again Last Night and After Emma gained her awards for writing, directing, and acting—but she had a bigger role in life that would soon present itself: freaking badass.    

        After the rug was vigorously pulled out from under her when her husband’s affair came to light, she found herself falling into the arms of another man. After a second failed attempt at love and a massive heartbreak, she decided that instead of landing flat on her ass—she’d make a career out of it.   

        And so came the birth of the book Eat, Pray, #FML, where she shared all the mistakes, all the lessons, and most importantly, how she became a fearless leader from it all.
