More from Women of Steel with Miriam Grace

Glowing, blossoming, blooming! These are words associated with pregnant women. But they are not just words they are expectations. Pregnant women are often grieving too and even those who do go on to have children will experience some empty nest syndrome later on. Today we welcome Rebecca Louis from Mama Blossom to talk about real women, real pregnancy and real feelings. Of course this will include tales of joy too.
This week Miriam talks with Susie Stonefield (she/her)—artist, expressive-arts facilitator, and self-described “midwife of creativity and grief”. Susie shares how art journaling became her lifeline during her late-in-life coming-out journey, helping her move from a 30-year marriage to building a passion-driven career and a joyful new home in Chico, California. Together they explore how creativity can turn life’s messiness into meaning, how to navigate fear when starting over, and why making art is a powerful way to process both grief and growth.
