Stacy Frazer Season 3 Episode 86

Real Talk: Writer to Writer

Are you afraid of being judged for what you write? 

You’re not alone. Me too. And in this episode, I get personal by sharing my writing updates, how publishing a short story felt exposing, and how I’m learning to navigate the fear of being seen for what I write.

We also talk about changes to the podcast and setting writing intentions for 2026 that align with your life, not work against it.
