Stacey Gordon: Building dual identities. Fiction author. Tech leader.

Stacey Gordon wanted to be a novelist since she was a kid. She loved reading and writing. However, as an adult she was juggling a demanding career in tech, parenting, work travel, and life...with nothing left over for her own creative pursuits. Stacey shares how she gave herself the space for writing and creating without sitting down to type or put pen to paper. How she continued her path through Covid, putting down a few hundred words a day in a small shed outside her house. In this episode, she talks about how she’s building a life of a fiction writer. And she's now working on her fourth book. (And, yes, she still has a 9 - 5 job).She reveals the power of community and the importance of protecting your creative space — especially in the early, vulnerable stages.Patience and persistence really pays off: her book The Pearl Farmers is out this fall, and she’s building her author brand and helping other writers alongside her day job.Maybe your creative dream is just an idea now — but with small steps, it can become real.Website: https://www.staceygordonauthor.com/Her book: thepearlfarmers.comIG: @staceygordonauthorSend us Fan MailEVOLUTION OR REVOLUTION is produced by Courtney Kaplan.Website: Iconic Leadership Coaching.Follow me on IG @iconic_owlConnect on Linked in @courtney-kaplan Music by Midwest Got It (IG: midwestgotit)
