Shownotes

Julie Carrick Dalton’s first novel, “Waiting for the Night Song,” will be released next month to much anticipation. BuzzFeed calls it one of the most anticipated books of 2021, while a Medium article says it is one of the twelve most anticipated books of the new year.

In this episode, Julie shares the story of how a simple walk in the woods changed the course of her life dramatically. Once a successful journalist, she made a cool change when she decided to purchase a farm, pursue sustainable agriculture, and begin writing a novel.

Listen for how early life experiences, including a visit with the Archbishop Desmond Tutu during the unraveling of Apartheid, shaped her ability to pivot from one path to another, and to notice when it was time to make a change.
