    Episode 17: The Power of Not Quitting with Sophie Stava

    We’re joined by novelist Sophie Stava, whose journey to publication is anything but conventional with a story shaped by rejection, resilience, and the decision to keep going when it would have been easier to stop. What started as an idea became a debut novel, Count My Lies, and is now being adapted into a Hulu series, with Sophie stepping into the role of producer. In this episode, Sophie opens up about the real path to getting published. We talk about where the story came from, how she built the discipline to keep writing through uncertainty, and what it looked like to pursue ambition while navigating motherhood. She also takes us behind the scenes of the adaptation process, sharing what it actually means to be involved as a producer and how the story evolves from page to screen. This conversation is a reminder that success rarely looks the way we think it will and that sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come from refusing to walk away. For anyone chasing something that hasn’t happened yet, this episode is proof that persistence matters, your voice matters, and the story is still unfolding. ✨
