Episode 13: The Soul Behind the Story: Gary Parker on Writing What Matters

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. Episode Highlights * Legacy Over Likes Gary explains why writing for impact—not popularity—is what sustains a creative life. * From Page to Screen Hear how The Playbook evolved from screenplay to limited series to novel—and why the story had to be told, no matter the format. * Marketing Without the Ick Factor Why promoting your book isn’t selling out—it’s speaking for the characters you’ve given life to. * The Power of Perspective Gary shares why many of his protagonists are women and how writing them deepened his empathy and voice. * Writing as a Lifelong Becoming With four decades of words behind him, Gary reflects on how understanding humanity has made him a better writer.   Your next chapter is waiting to be written. Let’s turn the page together. Ready to embrace your own messy, beautiful story?

Episode 12 : Messy, Brave, and Becoming: Reclaiming Your Narrative with Geena Hymer

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. Highlights from this episode: 1. Writing as a Lifeline How journaling and poetry became Geena’s survival tools during the darkest moments of her childhood. 2. Body of Armor: The Origin Story Why weight gain became both a defence and a metaphor—and how Geena is dismantling it through her memoir. 3. From Silence to Sharing The moment Geena decided to stop hiding—and how telling her story started her real healing. 4. Healing Isn’t Linear What therapy, faith, and self-compassion taught her—and why healing doesn’t mean having it all figured out. 5. Turning Pain into Purpose How Geena’s journey has led her to write a book that helps others feel seen, heard, and worthy. Whether you’re writing a memoir or simply trying to understand your own truth on the page, this episode is a tool for every writer walking the hard, honest path toward healing.

Episode 11 : The Journey to Finding your Voice with Steph Essary

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. In this episode: * What does it really mean to “find your voice”? Spoiler: It’s less about sound and more about self-trust. * Letting go of external validation How I learned to stop waiting for someone else to approve my words before I shared them. * The healing power of storytelling Why sharing your truth—even the messy parts—is where the real magic happens. * Voice and vulnerability The connection between emotional honesty and authentic writing. * This podcast as my proof of process How each episode I record is an act of reclaiming my voice—and an invitation for you to do the same. Ready to embrace your own messy, beautiful story? Tune in now, subscribe to Unfinished Stories: The Next Chapter, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear they’re not alone. Let’s continue writing our next chapter—together.

Episode 10 From Isolation to Expression: The Journey to Finding Your Voice with Tina Djuretic

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. Highlights from our conversation: * Breaking Free from Creative Isolation How Tina moved from writing in solitude to sharing her work with the world—and how you can do the same. * The Intersection of Poetry and Identity Why poetry became a powerful tool for self-discovery and emotional healing in Tina’s life. * Overcoming the Fear of Visibility The inner battles writers face when putting their work out there, and how to push past the fear of being seen. * Turning Personal Experience into Art How Tina channels personal struggles into creative expression, and why vulnerability is a writer’s greatest strength. * The Power of Community in Writing Why finding a writing community can be a game-changer, and how connection fuels creativity. 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.
