289: Leslie Rasmussen—Are You Compelled to Write a Great Novel?

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style= "font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Hear how to find your voice, even in the midst of change</strong></span></p> <p>What a powerful conversation I had with Leslie Rasmussen, award-winning author of the novel <em><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/After-Happily-Ever-Novel/dp/1647420148" target="_blank" rel="noopener">After Happily Ever After</a>. </em>It is a book that tells a story about a woman, perhaps you or me, who realizes that it is time for her to rethink the woman she used to be and wants to become. Sounds both familiar and intriguing, right? It is. While Leslie will tell you in our podcast all about her own journey, she also will shed light on how this novel emerged and why she has used it to give a voice to many women today facing the pain of change. Whether it is pandemic fatigue or watching the house empty as the kids head off to college, I know this is a conversation you will enjoy and a book you will want to read.</p> <p><strong>Watch and listen to our conversation here</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zn0FazPRQA&ab_channel=simonassociates" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src= "https://blog.simonassociates.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Leslie%20R%20video.jpg?width=663&name=Leslie%20R%20video.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px" srcset= "https://blog.simonassociates.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Leslie%20R%20video.jpg?width=332&name=Leslie%20R%20video.jpg 332w, https://blog.simonassociates.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Leslie%20R%20video.jpg?width=663&name=Leslie%20R%20video.jpg 663w, https://blog.simonassociates.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Leslie%20R%20video.jpg?width=995&name=Leslie%20R%20video.jpg 995w, https://blog.simonassociates.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Leslie%20R%20video.jpg?width=1326&name=Leslie%20R%20video.jpg 1326w, https://blog.simonassociates.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Leslie%20R%20video.jpg?width=1658&name=Leslie%20R%20video.jpg 1658w, https://blog.simonassociates.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Leslie%20R%20video.jpg?width=1989&name=Leslie%20R%20video.jpg 1989w" alt="Leslie R video" width="663" /></a><br
