Stacked Keys Podcast

The idea to talk to women who are out there living and making a difference is where the Stacked Keys Podcast was born. There are women who make a difference, but never make a wave while paddling through life. Immediately I can think of a dozen or more who impacted me, but I want more. I want to talk to those I don't know and I want to share with an audience that might need the inspiration to find their own beat. This podcast is to feature women who are impressive in the work world-- or in raising a family -- or who have hobbies that can make us all be encouraged. Want to hear what makes these women passionate and get up in the morning or what they wish they had known earlier in life? Grab your keys and STOMP to your own drum.

  Episode 262 PANEL ONE -- Tori Stackhouse, Tori Applegate , Samar Zafar , and Ashley Wall -- The Real Work Of Writing

  Sep 25, 20262h 1m

  You can love writing and still want to quit every week. That tension sits at the center of this Stacked Keys Podcast panel, where we get real about writing and publishing when you’re already juggling a full life. Join a group of women with completely different genres and the same stubborn drive: Tori Stackhouse, a law enforcement officer drafting a fantasy escape as an outlet; Tori Applegate, building a fantasy horror series that unexpectedly holds her religious trauma; Ashley Wall, a children’s book author and publisher at Mom Bear Books creating imaginative adventures that empower kids; and Dr Samra Zafar, bestselling author of A Good Wife and Unconditional, blending lived experience with mental health science and healing tools. We talk about the unglamorous parts of the author journey: rewriting chapters five times, switching point of view midstream, building believable characters, and learning to accept feedback without losing your voice. Samra shares what it takes to write about real people ethically, how publishers and legal teams handle fact-checking, and why “vulnerability requires boundaries.” Ashley brings the publisher perspective, including how editing can transform a manuscript and why you have to write for the readers who will love your book, not for everyone. You’ll also hear practical, modern strategies for follow-through: managing creative energy, pacing a series, staying patient with a long publishing timeline, and even using AI tools to spot clunky sentences and continuity issues in complex worldbuilding. If you’re trying to figure out how to write a book, how to publish it, or how to keep going after rejection, this conversation is a steady push forward. Subscribe for more conversations with women building bold lives, share this with a friend who’s stuck on page one, and leave us a review so more listeners can find the show. What’s the one thing you need to finish your book? Go listen to each of these women on their original guest spots on Stacked Keys Podcast. You are in for a treat!!!

  Episode 261 -- Danielle Frank -- From Red Carpets to Red Wine: Rewriting the Life You Didn't Plan

  Sep 22, 20261h 9m

  Danielle Frank spent six years in entertainment publicity at Miramax — red carpets, film festivals, the New York media world. At 29, she left it, without another job lined up, because the work no longer felt right. That decision led her into the wine and spirits industry, where she's now spent 21 years, the last 12 with Moët Hennessy. The conversation centers on a different turning point, though: the end of an engagement, and with it, the path to motherhood she'd expected to be on. Rather than treating that as a loss, she began writing — and thirteen years later, that writing became her book, A Wine Lover's Guide to Parenting , a rhyming, satirical guide that pairs parenting lessons with wine terminology. "Life isn't one yellow brick road to Oz. There's not one path. What matters is what you take from the one you were on." The episode moves through her career shift, the long road to publishing the book, how she built a lasting network across coasts, and how she thinks about setbacks — not as unfair, but as pivots. She also talks about what's next: a second book pairing whiskey with dog breeds, and a children's book about cultural acceptance she's hoping to place with a publisher.

  Episode 260 -- Jamie McMahon -- You Can Put Legs On A Dream Even When Life Is Loud

  Sep 22, 20261h 10m

  Your kid is brilliant, your schedule is chaos, and your old creative self feels like a distant memory, so what do you do with that gap? We sit down with Jamie McMahon, a realist artist known for soulful dog portraits, a former teacher and dance coach, and now a full-time stay-at-home mom of three, to get honest about identity, purpose, and making meaningful work in the margins of real life. We talk about the invisible labor of motherhood and why it can feel like you’ve worked all day with nothing to “show” for it, then shift into the tools that help Jamie stay grounded: trusting her gut, running decisions through faith, and learning discernment when parenting advice is coming at you from every angle. Jamie also shares what led her to homeschool her oldest, and how a flexible, curiosity-led approach can protect a bright child’s love of learning while strengthening the parent-child relationship. Then we go deeper on ambition and resilience. Jamie shares her own turning point between wishing and doing, the discipline that took her from struggling with health to dancing at the highest levels, and how she’s rebuilding healthy rhythms now with goalposts like dance reunions. Finally, she walks us through creating her children’s book Handy Pandas, from rhyming story concept to teaching herself digital illustration, and why creative problem solving is a life skill for kids and adults. If you’ve been craving community, creative momentum, or a way to feel like yourself again, this conversation is for you.

  When Life Changes Overnight

  Sep 21, 20264 min

  Why I've Been Missing If you've noticed the quiet, I wanted to explain it myself instead of leaving it unsaid. This past season has been full of the sweetest joy — becoming a Granny, soaking up every giggle and new discovery. I'm still right in the middle of it, and I wouldn't trade a minute. And then, in almost the same breath, life shifted. My husband was diagnosed with cancer, and everything overnight started changing. What had been a season of joy became a season that also held appointments, decisions, and a trip to MD Anderson. Walking through that with him became the center of my world, and everything else, including this space, had to wait. I'm happy to say he's on the road to recovery now, and I don't take that lightly. What I didn't expect was how much I'd realize the stories of other women — their strength, their honesty, and their wisdom is crucial to be heard . All I've experienced reminded me why these conversations matter so much to me in the first place. So I'm back, with interviews I recorded before everything shifted, ready to share them with you over the next few weeks. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for still being here.

  Episode 259 -- Eileen Noyes -- You Can Rebuild Your Life Without Losing Yourself

  May 6, 20261h 3m

  Fifteen kids in the blended-family mix, a cross-country move, a second marriage, and a mission that refuses to stay quiet. I’m talking with author, speaker, and coach Eileen Noyes about what it actually takes to rebuild your life when faith has been used to control, when your home feels heavy, and when you know you cannot stay stuck on the sidelines of your own calling. Eileen shares her path from the pro-athlete world and life as an NFL wife to the painful turn of a first marriage shaped by harmful beliefs that stripped women of voice and value. We talk about what grit looks like at rock bottom, how isolation keeps you trapped, and why letting trusted people in can be the first real step toward healing. If you’ve been searching for hope around spiritual abuse recovery, Christian women’s identity, or how to protect your kids while you’re falling apart inside, this conversation offers both honesty and direction. We also dig into a surprisingly practical framework she calls “cleaning house” that applies to your physical space, your body, your relationships, and your spiritual life: address the mess, create order and function, then maintain. We get into early-morning routines, rewiring your mind toward gratitude, resisting comparison, and building a life and business that fits your family instead of crushing it. If something here encourages you, subscribe, share this with a friend who needs steady hope, and leave a review so more women can find the show.
