Creative Ways to Celebrate National Read a New Book Month — Sara Lohse | Ep 72

If you’ve ever felt like your stories “aren’t big enough” to share, this is the episode for you. In honor of National Read a New Book Month, I talk with Sara Lohse about how even life’s small, everyday moments make for powerful stories—especially in podcasting and content creation. You’ll hear about Sara’s unusual claim to fame (yes, she really told a tattoo story on a finance podcast!) and how learning to share smaller, personal stories is often more relatable than sweeping, dramatic narratives.

In this episode, you’ll walk away with:

A fresh approach to uncovering and telling your own authentic stories, even if you think your life isn’t exciting enough.
A simple technique for connecting the message you want to share to real-life moments—making your content more engaging and memorable.

Plus, Sara shares how she chooses what to read, and why stealing like an artist can unlock your creativity. Tune in to find inspiration and practical tips for making your story stand out by starting small.
