Rewrite the Mother Code with Dr. Gertrude Lyons

Logan Steiner, a lawyer and a writer, shares with Dr. Gertrude her experience in exploring the journey of being a mother. She takes us through the years which prompted her into reflecting on life and its wonders, particularly on how writing helped her have clarity on motherhood. Through the years, she has been setting her focus on being there for her child and building herself into a strong and capable woman. 

Today on Mot(HER):

  • How the death of Ben, Logan’s brother, changed her life
  • Exploring one’s own thoughts and feelings through writing
  • Realizing and reflecting on the reluctance of being a mother
  • Building themselves into adults and strengthening the foundation of a relationship
  • Learning to mother yourself 
  • Making choices that resonate for you

Logan is a lawyer by day and a writer by baby bedtime. Her writing explores motherhood and the creative life--two things she once thought could never happily coexist. 

Logan's debut novel After Anne will be released on May 30, 2023 by HarperCollins. For fans of Anne of Green Gables and fans of complex, creative women, the novel tells the life story of the author Lucy Maud Montgomery.

After graduating summa cum laude from Pomona College and cum laude from Harvard Law School, Logan clerked for three federal judges, spent six years in Big Law, and served for three years as an Assistant United States Attorney. She now specializes in brief writing at a boutique law firm.

Logan lives in Denver with her husband David, daughter Noa, and the cranky old man of the house, a Russian Blue cat named Taggart.

Logan Steiner’s book entitled After Anne is available for pre-order on Amazon
