Stacked Keys Podcast

The idea to talk to women who are out there living and making a difference is where the Stacked Keys Podcast was born. There are women who make a difference, but never make a wave while paddling through life. Immediately I can think of a dozen or more who impacted me, but I want more. I want to talk to those I don't know and I want to share with an audience that might need the inspiration to find their own beat. This podcast is to feature women who are impressive in the work world-- or in raising a family -- or who have hobbies that can make us all be encouraged. Want to hear what makes these women passionate and get up in the morning or what they wish they had known earlier in life? Grab your keys and STOMP to your own drum.

When Life Changes Overnight

Why I've Been Missing

If you've noticed the quiet, I wanted to explain it myself instead of leaving it unsaid.

This past season has been full of the sweetest joy — becoming a Granny, soaking up every giggle and new discovery. I'm still right in the middle of it, and I wouldn't trade a minute. And then, in almost the same breath, life shifted. My husband was diagnosed with cancer, and everything overnight started changing. What had been a season of joy became a season that also held appointments, decisions, and a trip to MD Anderson. Walking through that with him became the center of my world, and everything else, including this space, had to wait.

I'm happy to say he's on the road to recovery now, and I don't take that lightly.

What I didn't expect was how much I'd realize the stories of other women — their strength, their honesty, and their wisdom is crucial to be heard . All I've experienced reminded me why these conversations matter so much to me in the first place. So I'm back, with interviews I recorded before everything shifted, ready to share them with you over the next few weeks.

Thank you for your patience. Thank you for still being here.

diagnosed with cancer. I had to change everything overnight. Not making the trip to Emmy Anderson and walking through that season with him became the center of my world. And of everyone else's everything else, including the show. Happy to say that he is on the road to recovery now, and I'm so very grateful for that.

Recovery, Gratitude, And Why Stories Matter

SPEAKER_00 2:02

I'm sharing all of this not for sympathy, but because I think it's a part of why these conversations with women that we have on Star Keys Podcast mean so much to me and that they matter when life gets hard. The stories of other women, their strength, their wisdom, their messages, they become a lifeline. That is exactly what carried me through.

New Interviews Coming Faster

SPEAKER_00 2:32

I'm back with some incredible interviews that I had done prior to all of the events in life. And I'm getting caught up. And I'm finally ready to get them shared with you. Over the next few weeks, I'll be rolling out those conversations probably a little more quickly than I usually do. But they are some real stories from fabulous women who have so much to offer.

Thanks For Waiting And Moving Forward
