About this episode

Desiree Steele discusses her new book and the themes of reflection and healing.

In this 20-minute episode, Desiree Steele shares her perspective around the release of her new book, Backroads and Backporches . Through this short but meaningful conversation, she opens up about her “why,” a glimpse into her creative process, and the experiences that shaped her writing. We also touch on deeper themes like reflection, healing, and finding light even when speaking about trauma. This episode is leaving us inspired and reminded that everyone has a story worth telling. This is my first episode in English, which makes it even more special to me. I’m so grateful to Desiree for her openness, and to Ana for being part of this moment and supporting the conversation. Thank you so much for listening. If this episode resonates with you, feel free to leave a heart or a comment—I truly appreciate your support of Sustentadome Podcast. 💛
