No, no. Not the band of the same name, “Panic at the Disco”. I’m referring to a silly moment in my latest podcast with Wynne. What a treat it is – every time I visit with her. Even when the topic’s fairly serious, we find ways to have fun. 😎
In this week’s Heart of the Matter podcast, Wynne and I talk about the publishing process as we swap stories. We’re no experts, but we’re happy to share our experiences. One common denominator – one of the many connecting threads between us? Wynne and I were purpose-driven as we wrote about our parents (Wynne writing about her father in “Finding My Father’s Faith” and me writing about my mother in “Surviving Sue”). Feeling an innate sense of purpose served as oomph and energy as we wrote, but it also helped both of us navigate publishing decisions later on.
One of my motivational nudges? A quote that I carried in my heart throughout the process of bringing my mom’s story to life. So much so that it appears on page 1 of “Surviving Sue”:
-Brene Brown
We hope this episode is a helpful ‘behind the scenes’ treat. Or that it’s entertaining. Or both. Every time Wynne and I chat there’s a giggle or two…no matter what the topic. 😉 This time? Somehow, we weave disco dancing into the mix, just as I mentioned above.
