In this inspiring episode of the Page Break Podcast, Rich sits down with Sasha Shillingford, author of Requited Love, to talk about the craft of writing — from big-picture inspiration to the day-to-day discipline it takes to bring stories to life.

Sasha opens up about how she balances creativity with consistency, where she finds motivation when the words don’t flow easily, and what she’s learned about trusting the process as both a writer and a storyteller. Together, they dive into the habits, routines, and mindset that help turn ideas into finished pages.

It’s a thoughtful, behind-the-scenes look at what it really means to be a writer — not just in the moments of inspiration, but in the everyday act of showing up to the blank page.
