About this episode
In this empowering episode of Big Blend Radio’s "Books & Authors Show" with Books Forward, we chat with debut author Deb Miller and her daughter Hadley Edwards about Deb’s inspiring new memoir, Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness (She Writes Press, June 24, 2025).
Blending memoir with cultural commentary, Deb shares how she broke free from the traditional "happily-ever-after" narrative to embrace a life built on self-discovery, courage, and personal fulfillment. Together with Hadley, she explores how today’s women can rewrite their own stories—without waiting for a prince to save the day.
From navigating societal expectations to examining the evolution of Disney princesses, this honest and hopeful conversation is perfect for listeners interested in women’s empowerment, memoirs by strong women, feminist perspectives, and personal growth journeys.
