Entering motherhood is a period of transformation, transition, and responsibility. Patricia records her first solo episode as a new mom, about two months after the birth of her first son. They made it past their first 40 days together as well as their first Mother’s Day!

You may hear some baby noises in the background, as well as baby Smith’s celebrity lookalikes! 😆

Julia Billings is a German national who moved to the US for work and stayed for love. She arrived in New York 5 years ago to start what she thought was going to be her dream career at the United Nations. She has worked as a recruiter, talent and leadership development professional in several roles in the international space and then became a mom – and all her priorities shifted. Instead of long hours in the office, she prefers spending them watching her daughter grow into her own little person. And instead of working for someone else’s vision, she is creating her own vision of helping moms thrive in this special season of their lives through her blog, peer group facilitation, and impactful life, career, and leadership coaching.

Lynne and Patricia chat about the gestational process of writing books, or in Lynne‘s case, of working on multiple stories in different stages at the same time.

Lynne Golodner is the author of nine books, including her first novel, WOMAN OF VALOR. She’s also a marketing entrepreneur and writing coach.

After working as a journalist in New York and Washington, D.C., Lynne returned to her native Detroit to pursue a freelance writing career and teach writing. In 2007, she created Your People, a marketing and public relations company with a focus on storytelling that guides authors in building their brands and marketing their work. In 2023, Lynne founded Scotia Road Books, an independent publishing imprint for women over 40.

Lynne’s writing has appeared in 45th Parallel, Moment Magazine, Great Lakes Review, Saveur, the Chicago Tribune, Better Homes and Gardens, Midwest Living, the Detroit Free Press, Porridge Magazine, the Jewish Literary Journal, The Good Life Review, Hadassah Magazine, The Forward, Valiant Scribe, Story Unlikely, The Dillydoun Review, QuibbleLit, bioStories and YourTango, among many more publications. Plus, one of Lynne’s essays was a finalist in the Annie Dillard Creative Nonfiction contest at Bellingham Review.

Lynne teaches writing around the world, leads writers retreats and facilitates The Writers Community. She fuses her marketing expertise with her writing background in webinars and masterminds focused on arming writers with the tools to market their work and build consistent author brands.

A former Fulbright Specialist, Lynne graduated from University of Michigan (BA, Communications/English) and Goddard College (MFA, Writing) and earned a Certificate in Entrepreneurship from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program at Wayne State University. She is the mother of four young adults and lives in Huntington Woods, Michigan with her archivist-husband Dan.
