Interviews with artists, writers, therapists and
entrepreneurs
Each month our newsletter, The Encourager, features an interview with a self-professed Square-Peg. Many of these women are artists or writers, some are therapists or entrepreneurs.
In the interviews we ask a few big questions about how the interviewees see themselves as Square-Pegs and how they manage being Square-Pegs in a round-hole world. As you read the interviews you're likely to experience many "me too!" moments - feelings of finding your "tribe". And maybe some encouragement and inspiration to celebrate your own Square-Pegness!
Subscribe to The Encourager (use the form below) to get a slightly longer version of the interview, plus read a book review that "fits" the Square-Peg-Person interviewed. The Encourager also includes Square-Peg happenings that you won't want to miss.
