Ep. 001: Deenie Hartzog-Mislock is a writer, mother, and skincare enthusiast. She began her writing career as a beauty blogger and fashion copywriter in New York City. Over the years, she held positions at Bloomingdales.com and Bon Appétit magazine before taking the role of copy director at Vogue magazine. Though she is currently the copy director for biotech hair care brand, Virtue Labs, she has also spent her 15+ year career writing copy & branded content pursuing her greatest passion: writing narrative nonfiction. She has published essays in the New York Times Modern Love column (also featured on the Modern Love podcast), Longreads, Refinery29, Glamour, and elsewhere. In an about-face––though keeping in line with her personal style of writing vulnerably with heart and humor––she is currently writing a novel. Deenie was the perfect guest to kick off MSC interviews as she is hilarious and charming. We go deep on her path to becoming a published writer, the many challenges, transitions and mis-steps along the way. We cover everything from tuning out fear and overcoming impostor syndrome to the wild ride of 2020 and becoming a mother. This conversation with Deenie covers all of the beautiful dimensions of what it looks like for a woman to relentlessly pursue her calling. We also talk about:Growing up in Mississippi and moving to NYCHer time as a dancer and what inspired her to pursue writing insteadHer journey to getting published and establishing a writing careerHow she thinks about fear and impostor syndromeHow 2020 influenced what she wanted to write aboutMotherhood and all the ups and downs that come with itVulnerability, learning from mistakes and personal growthWhat she is looking forward to nextLearn more and connect with Deenie:deeniehartzog-mislock.comInstagram: @deeniewritesTiktok @deeniewritesTwitter: @deeniekBe a part of the community @Movementsoulcollectivepod      Thanks for listening to the Movement Soul Collective Podcast!
