Welcome back to Underline That with Stephanie Mack! We’re kicking off the second half of Season 1 with a short and sweet reset episode straight from the soul. If you’re craving a fresh start, a little structure, and a friend in your ears, this one’s for you!

In this solo reboot, I’m breaking things down into three buckets:

📌 Margin Notes: Setting Goals & Chasing Dreams
I’m sharing two of my Five F’s (Fitness + Firm): strength training, protein goals, creative vocation, and what celebrating actually means after seasons of hard work + waiting.

📌 Draft Notes: What’s Happening in My Writing World
Winter is a season of deadlines for me, and I'm dishing! We talk copyediting an indie book for repub, writing with honesty, and finding the lane of my dreams: women’s fiction with heart, romance, humor, faith, friendship, and belonging.

📌 Field Notes: Podcast Plans + TBR
Peep the guest lineup preview (Kristine Delano, Toni Shiloh + more!) plus five of my most-anticipated 2026 reads.

Plus: What happens when we swing and miss a big goal? What race am I running next? How do YOU approach goal setting?

If you loved this reboot, hit subscribe, leave a review, and DM me your January goals or current read—I want to hear!
