Welcome to another episode of the Women in the Middle Podcast
Today’s episode is all about the importance of how to infuse your life with joy with special guest, Martha Bourlakas.
Martha Bourlakas is the founder of Storied Goods, a celebration business that creates infused Sugar Cubes for cocktails, coffee, and tea.
Having received an MEd and her MFA in Creative Nonfiction, she is an author, speaker, and mother of three young adult daughters, the oldest of whom has autism. Her Southern accent was born in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, and she currently resides with her family in Virginia.
Martha speaks candidly and with humor on being an entrepreneur, feminism, challenges facing mothers of children and young adults with disabilities, raising neuro-typical siblings, and how to laugh and celebrate in the midst of it all. There were lots of twists and turns along the way to becoming fulfilled!
