What does it mean to write for yourself first? To write for your legacy, not for the spotlight?

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Gary Parker—prolific author of over 20 novels, screenplays, and someone whose words are as soulful as they are skillful. Gary and I explore the winding road of writing: how it starts, why it stalls, and what makes it worth finishing. From his early days growing up with books as best friends, to writing novels born from a single image etched in childhood memory, Gary shares how storytelling isn’t just something he does—it’s who he is.

We also talk about The Playbook, his newest novel (and former screenplay!) featuring a female football coach rewriting more than just plays—she’s rewriting her life. For anyone stuck between the page they’re on and the story they want to tell, this episode is your reminder: it’s not too late. You just have to start.

Your next chapter could begin today.

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Geena Hymer—a writer, survivor, and truth-teller who is courageously turning years of trauma into a powerful memoir called Body of Armor. Her story is one of transformation through writing, using words not only to process pain but to build something healing, lasting, and deeply human.

Geena shares how early childhood abuse, eating disorders, and trauma shaped her relationship with her body, her voice, and her worth. We talk candidly about what it means to survive, to stumble, and ultimately to choose healing—even when it feels messy or delayed.

If you’ve ever felt like your pain disqualified you from writing your next chapter, this conversation will remind you otherwise. Geena’s story isn’t just a journey through darkness—it’s a testament to how writing can become a path forward, a place of safety, and eventually, a gift to others.

For years, I was the woman who hid behind a keyboard—writing thousands of words that no one ever saw. I convinced myself that my voice didn’t matter, or that maybe it just wasn’t “ready.” Sound familiar?

In this solo episode, I open up about the long, winding road I’ve taken to find my voice—not just as a writer, but as a human being. Because voice isn’t just about how we sound on the page. It’s about how we show up in the world. And sometimes, we have to lose ourselves to finally hear what’s been there all along.

If you’re stuck, if you’re scared, if you’re waiting until it’s perfect—this one’s for you. Because finding your voice isn’t a destination. It’s a practice. A choice. A permission slip.

And I hope this episode can be a small part of helping you write your next chapter—with truth, with clarity, and with courage.

Writing can feel like a lonely pursuit—but finding your voice is about more than just words on a page. It’s about stepping out of isolation, embracing your story, and daring to share it with the world.

In this episode of Unfinished Stories: The Next Chapter, I sit down with writer and poet Tina Djuretic to explore what it really means to find your voice as a writer. Tina’s journey hasn’t been linear—like many of us, she’s wrestled with self-doubt, creative blocks, and the fear of being truly seen. But through poetry and storytelling, she’s carved a path from isolation to authentic self-expression.

If you’ve ever struggled to translate your emotions into words or felt like your writing didn’t matter, this conversation is for you.

Tina’s journey is a testament to the fact that your voice matters—and that sharing your story is an act of courage. Tune in for an honest, inspiring conversation that might just be the push you need to step into your own creative expression.

Overwhelm can be one of the biggest roadblocks in a writer’s journey—stopping us from finishing the book, sending the pitch, or even sitting down to write. But what if overwhelm wasn’t a dead end? What if it was actually a tool, guiding us toward our next chapter?

In this episode, I sit down with Corrie LoGiudice, a speaker, entrepreneur, and coach whose Overwhelm Culprits framework has helped countless people move from stress to success. Her journey—from navigating personal loss to redefining her career—offers invaluable lessons for writers struggling with self-doubt, time constraints, and creative burnout.

Writing is about more than just putting words on a page—it’s about mindset, resilience, and learning to push past the fear of getting it wrong. Whether you’re stuck in perfectionism, battling imposter syndrome, or simply unsure how to balance your writing with the rest of life, this conversation will help you move forward.

Your next chapter is waiting to be written. Let’s turn the page together.

What happens when life hands you a story you never wanted to write? How do you reclaim the narrative and turn the hardest chapters of your life into something meaningful? This week on Unfinished Stories: The Next Chapter, I sit down with Darla Radilla—a certified somatic trauma-informed coach, relationship expert, and podcaster—who turned her experience of surviving narcissistic abuse into a mission to help others rewrite their lives.

We dive into the power of somatic healing, why trauma lives in the body, and how understanding our nervous system can help us move forward. If fear, doubt, or past wounds have kept you from writing your next chapter—whether in life or on the page—this conversation will remind you that your story isn’t over.

Because every great story has moments of struggle—but it’s how we move forward that defines the ending.

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Pat Black-Gould—award-winning author, clinical psychologist, and former theatre director—who proves that reinvention isn’t just possible, but powerful.

Pat’s journey weaves through the bright lights of theatre, the challenges of single motherhood, and the deeply human work of helping veterans heal. After years of dedicating herself to psychology, she found her way back to her first love—writing—and is now telling stories that honour resilience, compassion, and inclusion.

What if the only thing standing between you and the life you want is the belief that you need someone else's permission?

For years, I let fear, self-doubt, and the need for external validation keep me from sharing my writing. I told myself that if I were really meant to be a writer, someone would have told me. I waited for permission—until I realized no one was coming to give it to me.

In this episode, I share my journey from waiting on approval to reclaiming my own voice. We’ll talk about how the fear of failure, the weight of childhood expectations, and the pressure to “earn” creative freedom can hold us back—and what happens when we decide to move forward anyway. Because the truth is, your story isn’t over. You don’t need permission to begin.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re waiting for a sign, consider this episode your wake-up call. Let’s stop waiting and start writing the next chapter—together.

In this episode of Unfinished Stories: The Next Chapter, we explore how hardship can be transformed into purpose.

Pain is often the first draft of transformation, but it’s up to us to write the next chapter.
