In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Novel, a screenwriter and my writing partner, whose work is rooted in emotional truth, lived experience, and stories that invite deeper understanding.We talk about Stephanie’s journey into writing, the books, films, and shows that shaped her voice, and how personal experience became the foundation for our powerful film ‘Quiet Storm.’ Together, we explore how the project came to life—from research and interviews to persistence, edits, and trusting the process when the story felt bigger than any one person.At the heart of ‘Quiet Storm’ is a bold and intentional choice: there is no single protagonist. Instead, hormones become the central character, told through the diverse stories of women whose experiences are often stigmatized, minimized, or left unspoken. Stephanie and I share our hormone stories, the purpose behind breaking taboos, and why inclusivity was essential to telling this story with integrity and care.This conversation is about writing what we don’t always have language for, honoring complexity, and trusting that storytelling can be a form of healing.If you’ve ever felt unseen in your body, your creativity, or your experience, this episode is an invitation to listen—and to feel less alone.LISTENING SUGGESTION: I AM WOMAN - JORDIN SPARKSFor more What's Your Spark, follow along at:@jordinsparks on Instagram@jordinsparksofficial and @dearmedia on TikTokJordin Sparks on YouTubeProduced by Dear Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
