Earning Freedom Endorses!!
I had the privilege of talking with Stacy and I know that she has an enormous amount of wisdom to share for anyone who aspires to write. She helps people find the creative genius. I’m so incredibly impressed with the podcast she has built with Write of your Life and I encourage you to learn from all of her inspiring episodes. She is the cure for writer’s block!
Wow this is a powerful show!
Divorce from a Narcissist is a powerful episode.
We can all use help and reminding for how to deal with situations and peoples actions when they are "not ok". Speaking up for our feelings is so important (even if only to ourselves).
It took me years to begin to understand how the experiences I had as a child affect the relationships I have as an adult.
This is helpful stuff, thanks for creating this show!
