The Write Your Own Story Podcast
Grab your fav pen ladies, because it’s time to write the story of how your life goes! The Write Your Own Story podcast is here to encourage women to live the life they dream about by sitting with women business owners, game changers, community leaders and friends in the most honest, no perfect allowed, just girls gabbin way, about all things life and womanhood. Stories are rooted in meaning, connection, and understanding and so often are the clues for our future selves. It’s so important for all of us to hear what other women are doing with their lives. Their successes, their struggles, their perseverance, what failure has taught them, how they show up in this world, and what sets their heart on fire. It’s these stories that make us realize we’re not alone and motivate us to take a closer look at our own dreams. I promise it will be down to earth, super real and honest, funny, and feel like we’re all just gabbin over a cup of coffee or a glass (glasses) of wine. At the end of each show, my hope ist women are inspired to block out the societal “should’s” and the inner voices of “Why me?” and “Am I enough?” so they can pick up the pen with confidence and write their own stories of their lives.

Stillness is a Superpower: Creativity, Courage, and Coming Alive with Ericka Nicole Malone
In this soul-stirring episode of Write Your Own Story, Betsy is joined by the incredible Ericka Nicole Malone — award-winning screenwriter, director, producer, and the visionary behind Remember Me: The Mahalia Jackson Story.
From staging her own plays in college to fund her education to rewriting the narrative of her life through storytelling, Ericka shares the pivotal moments that shaped her path — including how stillness, self-belief, and creative courage became her compass. The two dive deep into themes of joy, trauma, transformation, and the sacred discipline of choosing your thoughts every day.
Ericka also opens up about her powerful documentary The Bucket Wish — a living testimony to the magic that unfolds when we dare to explore the parts of ourselves left dormant, face fear head-on, and reclaim forgotten dreams.
Whether you're in a season of transition, searching for joy, or craving inspiration to begin again — this episode is a love letter to the light that never left you.
