   Have you ever been so worn down by your circumstances that it seemed impossible to believe there could be anything good on the other side? Just twenty-four hours after her late boyfriend's unexpected passing, Stephanie was feeling everything and nothing at the same time. Yet in the blur of grief, her mom kept repeating to her something she would never forget. “I promise you, only good will come of this.” It was a promise that would give her the purpose to get through and ultimately became what inspired Track 8, Only Good Will Come of This. Join Stephanie as she shares how she learned to find the good in the hardest season of her life and the blessings that came as she found her way back again. The power of my parents united support Why we have to take the steps to keep going The divine in the writing room How openness to our journey impacts not only ourselves but others At our weakest moments is often when we need to dig in the deepest to find the strength to go on and that is why this song is so close to her heart.

   6. Story Behind the Song: Strange Club

   Have you ever found yourself belonging to a club you didn’t sign up for? Maybe a circumstance only happened to you but somehow along the way you keep finding people who share a similar experience. In learning that Stephanie wasn’t the only woman in her late boyfriend's life, she suddenly found herself a lifetime member of a strange club. A sisterhood of women who, though they had never met, were forever bound together by the colliding stories of his infidelities. As Stephanie walked the long road forward, Track 6, Strange Club, became a representation of a turning point in her healing. On today’s episode, she’ll share about the impact of owning the reality of her circumstance and how telling her truth has brought her even more freedom than she could have imagined. Tune in to hear: How the electric guitar line reflects the theme of the song The camaraderie she has found in this strange little club How healing can come through humor Why the best way to tell her story was through music Though we may not have a choice in what life throws our way, we will always have a choice in what we choose to do with what happens to us. Because at one point or another, there is a good chance we’ll all be members of some type of strange club. Quotes from the episode: It’s all a choice in what we choose to do with what happens to us. Grasping reality allows you to sometimes find this weird level of healing through humor and there’s a different level of strength that comes from that. When you can laugh about it you own it. Whatever you have gone through doesn’t have to define you.

   5. Story Behind the Song: Fiction

   Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a circumstance in your life and wished you had the pen to rewrite the plot entirely? I mean, aren’t we supposed to be the main character of our own story? Just a few weeks after her late boyfriend’s passing, Stephanie found herself trying to acclimate to a new reality. Even though her whole world had come to a screeching halt, time kept moving. It felt impossible to imagine that she could return to doing anything that she loved ever again, especially returning to her music. Thankfully, those closest to her knew that that was in fact the lifeline she needed to be able to begin again. Returning to the stage brought the little bit of lightness she needed to move forward into the heaviness of her reality and that is exactly the perspective she wrote Track 5, Fiction, from. If you are in a situation you can’t wrap your head around and are longing for a way through, you won’t want to miss today’s episode as she shares, Why this song unironically was a total rewrite How fighting for lightness can provide a way through your pain Why telling this story has been so valuable to my grieving process How accepting your reality can free you to return to yourself While what you see in front of you might not be the life you had imagined, let Stephanie be the friend to remind you, you are still the main character of your story and there is a whole lot of living yet to do. Quotes from the episode: This is how I believe we are able to get through things because we are all going through the same things, just different versions of the gray, because really nothing is black and white. If you feel that your situation is taking you under, is pulling you down. Search and fight for any level of lightness because it'll be what gets you through. Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. Listen to the full album On The Edge and track 5 Fiction here: https://streamlink.to/OnTheEdgeAlbum Thank you to our sponsors, SPLENDOR WATER.

   4. Story Behind the Song: Charmed

   Have you ever found yourself in a relationship trying to quiet the subtle nudge that something just isn’t quite right? Or, when red flags kept finding their way in front of you, you were just so smitten you chose to let them slide? After Stephanie’s late boyfriend passed, she found herself trying to pick up the pieces of what she thought her relationship was and the actual reality of it. From the view of the other side, she wrote the fourth song on her album, Charmed, a light-hearted recount of the beginning and end of their relationship and an anthem of solidarity for anyone who has found themselves in a similar situation. On today’s episode, she will share some of the red flags she missed and a few key realizations that have brought her to a place of not only trusting others again but herself. Tune in to hear: The Christmas gift that became the metaphor for her relationship Why trustworthy people are a necessity to your inner circle Why your gut is your biggest advocate How your story isn’t defined by your past In reality, her story is not uncommon, because any time our hearts get involved, acting on what we innately know becomes that much harder. But, what if what we think will break us actually might build us? Quotes from the episode: "If your gut is signaling to you early on, listen to it before you don't trust it anymore." "Borrow courage in the fact of knowing you have the ability to change your future no matter what has happened in your past."
