Episode 78 of The Well-Tended Life Podcast is a breath of fresh air for anyone feeling trapped by outdated life scripts. Host Keri Wilt chats with Deb Miller, an author and professor who’s no stranger to rewriting her own story. Forget the Fairytale, Deb's memoir, challenges women to let go of cultural conditioning and embrace a life that’s genuinely theirs.
Imagine being stuck in a fairytale, waiting for Prince Charming – only to realise you don't need him to rescue you. Deb shares her 'aha' moments, including the slap-in-the-face realisation that her marriage was over and the epiphany inspired by a Disney movie. Her journey of transformation is a testament to the power of choosing your own path.
As Deb navigates life in an enchanted forest outside Seattle, she offers insights into breaking free from societal expectations and creating a unique version of happiness. This episode encourages you to rethink what happily ever after really means and how you can cultivate a life that's authentic and fulfilling.
Deb's stories are not just about rewriting the fairy tales we've been handed but also about finding joy in everyday moments – whether it's planting blueberries with her granddaughter or embracing new adventures post-divorce. If you've ever felt like you're living someone else's story, this conversation is your chance to start writing your own. So, grab your gardening gloves and get ready to dig into the wisdom shared by these two inspiring women.
