In this episode, I talk with documentarian Abby Epstein about her creative journey becoming a theater and film director and women’s health advocate. A co-creator of the landmark film, The Business of Being Born, Abby tells honest women’s stories — from periods to menopause and everything in between. She shares her experiences in creating compelling documentaries, the importance of creative partnerships, and the challenges faced when your creativity rocks society's boat. Abby also talks about her new project, Midlife Monologues, which explores the narratives surrounding women in midlife and is sure to start another movement. Both curious and fearless, Abby takes on the status quo and her work is essential to making sure women’s stories are truthfully told.
Takeaways:
- If there’s a fork in the road, take the path where you can learn something new
- Creative partnerships are key to making your best work
- If you’re challenging the status quo, be prepared for backlash
Art has a profound ripple effect on society and individual lives
- And don’t underestimate the power of your creative work to make a difference.
