Christa's Editor Stephanie Duncan Smith, 4, on Soul Care in Marriage & Writing

“When a person has a strong base of security, it creates that safety to take greater risks.” - Stephanie Duncan Smith, Enneagram 4, The E + M Podcast

I've mentioned it before, but it's worth repeating that we don't grow unless we feel safe.

This is true for you in relationships and this was also true for me in the writing of the book for you - It was such a gift to work with Stephanie Duncan Smith on the project, whom, as you can see from the quote above, truly gets this with us.

I wanted a publishing house that would listen to what was happening in the "field" with couples and research, and also be able to hold the paradox of doing the work oneself while also sharing the work with others so we could all get soul care together in relationship.

To this end, it was SUCH a gift to pair with Baker Books on, "The Enneagram in Marriage" project, and most particularly Stephanie Duncan Smith, Enneagram 4w3, the truly iconic executive editor at Baker, our guest on today's brand new episode for you.

I'm so grateful Stephanie presented the idea for the E + M book at the pub board on behalf of this dream in my heart and then together with me, brought the dream to life, step by careful step.

On this podcast, we get to walk through soul care in life and marriage with Stephanie, as well as her passion for the ongoing message of the book she believes is just beginning!

I also adore that we get to talk about her 4-8 marriage and the ways she and her husband Zack are learning and growing together here and her beautiful and inspiring newsletter that always speaks to me, Slant Letter, as well!

Please join us right here as she shares marriage, legacy, and writing tips for every listener here for life!
