Since 2008, Penelope Trunk’s blog (substack, too) has been my go-to place when I needed a reality check on most any subject. Reading her posts gave/give me power in all areas: writing, career, motherhood, marriage, child rearing - I could go on. Penelope agreed to be interviewed on a wide range of subjects and I am thrilled to share it with you, Writers! Buckle Up! Lots of Honesty and Laughs! Penelope Trunk is an entrepreneur, start-up expert, author, columnist/essayist & expert blogger, teacher, life coach, homeschooling expert & a passionate mom. She specializes in many things, especially career choices for all ages, teaching the writing process and personal coaching - one of her stand-out skills is writing about controversial subjects with complete abandon that are personal, thought-provoking, honest, and real.You can find Penelope’s writing and consulting offerings at her websites:PenelopeTrunk.com And her Substack (Penelopetrunk.substack.com)Penelope Trunk is an OG in the online writing space - call it blogging, article posting, newsletter, whatever - Penelope was there at the beginning, sharing in the career and writing advice space but also, and sometimes more prominently, in the personal sharing space. She invited readers into her life and offered her unfettered and sometimes controversial opinions on everything that she encountered in her life while she raised her two boys and juggled her career which included creating (and selling) four Start-ups. One of Penelope’s finest qualities is her unbridled enthusiasm, research prowess and her unbridled, raw honesty. She always gets me thinking.In this podcast, Penelope and I talk about everything from empty nesting to the writing process to book marketing to motherhood to womanhood.Penelope has a book deal for her second book (with HarperCollins) and we hope she will return to discuss her new book at Pub Time!Here are some specific topics and links when mentioned in the podcast:** The One Thing Every Author Can Do To Promote A Book (that I bet you never heard before)** Penelope’s book proposal prowess** Blueprint For A Woman’s Life ** Research and your reader’s ability to “take it in”** How Penelope deals with cranky reader comments ** What is “enmeshment” as it relates to parenting?** “the endless lesson of what is love”** the truth about motherhood and why women are shamed into having big careers** Penelope’s lesson from being there on 9/11** How your brain changes when your kids go off to collegePenelope invited listeners to email her directly with questions at penelope@penelopetrunk.com.Thanks for listening as always.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Claudine stuff:Thank you for listening to this podcast episode!*** Upgrade Your Subscription to get every one of my Substack Posts & Podcast episodes in your mailbox!
