Stephanie Trenchard's multi-disciplinary creative process includes painting and poetry along with cast glass. With a focus on biographical stories of how women artists have navigated careers and partnerships, motherhood and making a living while still focusing on their creative practice, the work also discusses the price the art has to pay in this grand juggling act. The artist prioritizes the actual experience of the work, making and seeing it, over the classification of genre or ownership of an idea.  Says Trenchard: “I create my own visual vocabulary in storytelling. Using these totems, I tell stories about the artistic experience and the ensuing personal relationships usually based on true stories of artists from history. The subject of these narratives is often revealed in the title of the piece, but it is not necessary that the viewer be familiar with the subject in order to understand the concept because the metaphors are universal to the human condition.” Her work also involves using art as a way to communicate local activism as seen in her project About Sturgeon Bay. Born in Champaign, Illinois, in 1962, Trenchard earned her BFA in painting from Illinois State University in 1984. Subsequently, she and glass artist husband Jeremy Popelka relocated to San Francisco, California, where Trenchard designed textile patterns, licensed and sold under a private label. Upon returning to Sturgeon Bay Wisconsin in 1997, the couple built a hot shop and gallery that they share to this day. They assist each other with work as well as teaching projects, such as their recent classes in Thailand. As she assisted Popelka, Trenchard began to see glass casting as a means of translating textile patterns and other imagery to glass. The discovery of Paradise Paints allowed her to combine painting skills with glass art in the development of her award-winning body of work. Trenchard has developed a unique method of creating art using glass combined with paint. She first creates fully realized figures or objects in clear glass, which are then painted with high-fire enamels that are mixed and blended just as with oil or acrylic paints. Next, these three-dimensional objects or figures are submerged into molten glass encased in cubes and rectangles of clear sand cast glass. Each cube or rectangle is created so that they can be fitted tightly next to one another or on top, making a totem like structure. Coldworking is required to achieve the perfect fit. She states: “I have been following my own interests and curiosities concerning how these women have navigated their careers and artistic practices. I represent these ideas in glass through the details that speak to me, particularly the ephemera of material culture, furniture and clothing that encapsulate their era and class. I also rely on posture and facial expression to reveal the nature of the subject as I intuit it.” In addition to teaching in her studio, Trenchard has taught workshops at Pratt Fine Art Center, University of Wisconsin, The Studio at the Corning Museum of Glass, The Bergstrom Mahler Museum of Glass and others. She was a lecturer at the Glass Art Society Conference, Murano, Italy, and established the first hot glass school in Southeast Asia, at Bangkok Glass, Thailand. Recent exhibitions include: Beyond Giving, Inspiring Change, Singapore Art Week, Singapore; Matriarchs of Mastery, Habatat Gallery, Detroit, Michigan; A Creative Place, Trout Museum, Wisconsin; and Beyond the Ceiling – Women of Studio Glass, Sarasota, Florida, Habatat Invitational, Michigan. Awards include Trenchard's 2025 Featured Poet award, presented by After Hours Journal, Chicago; 2023, 2024 Prize Winner at Habatat International Exhibition; and the 2020 AACG Wisconsin Artist Series at Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass. Says Trenchard: “Telling stories is what cultures do to understand the history and identities of the people. The small details in my work open up a conversation about the personal experiences of women in the arts as interpreted through history.”

How often do we pause to truly ponder the impact of our daily actions on the world around us? Inspired by Patrick Henry's timeless wisdom, this episode explores how small acts of virtue and kindness can ripple outward, shaping our communities in profound ways. I share personal stories about young people who often underestimate their influence, yet have the power to lead and inspire simply by living authentically. As we navigate this journey, we stress the importance of prioritizing spiritual and familial connections over the distractions of modern technology, encouraging listeners to set positive examples for the next generation as a foundation for a more virtuous community.Throughout our discussion, we confront the ever-present battle between light and darkness within our choices and how nurturing our inner light can illuminate paths toward truth. By delving into Samuel Langdon's sermon from 1775, we question if we've strayed from the values of our ancestors, highlighting the urgent necessity for spiritual renewal. This call to action urges a return to foundational beliefs in God and Jesus Christ to restore and preserve the moral fabric of our nation. As we conclude, we leave you with heartfelt blessings, envisioning a brighter future guided by virtue and divine grace.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Her experiences, spanning various sectors such as luxury, government, and the arts, provide a unique lens through which she views storytelling and representation.

BECOMING A PERSON OF INFLUENCE Impostor Syndrome is just someone pretending to be someone else. It is self doubt. To overcome Impostor Syndrome, just be yourself. Stop pretending. It starts as a vision of who you truly are. That vision can build your confidence and help build your influence. When you be yourself, you're not faking it. You are working to be who you really are. It is so much easier to be you rather than pretending to be someone else. Your confidence will grow. Have the courage to step into your true self. Start by sharing one small story about yourself on your podcast. Your tribe will love you for it. This is the beginning of growing your influence. MELINDA LEE On this episode, we're diving into the transformative power of voice, flow, and authentic connection with our special guest, Melinda Lee. Melinda Lee is a Presentation Skills Expert, Speaking Coach, and nationally renowned Motivational Speaker. She holds an M.A. in Organizational Psychology, is an Insights Practitioner, Certified Professional in Talent Development, as well as Certified in Conflict Resolution. For over a decade, Melinda has researched and studied the state of "flow" and used it as a proven technique to help corporate leaders and business owners amplify their voices, access flow, and present their mission in a more powerful way to achieve results. Melinda brings a wealth of experience as a presentation skills expert and speaking coach for TEDx Berkeley. She shares her journey from overcoming impostor syndrome to landing major clients like Google, and how aligning her words with her intentions has attracted more opportunities her way. She has worked with thousands of executives and teams from Facebook, to the Army Corp of Engineers, and more. She is breaking the ancestral lineage of silence. During our conversation, Melinda unpacks the misconceptions about public speaking and highlights the importance of inspiring change rather than mere teaching. Sparking inspiration is an important step to developing influence. She explains how achieving a flow state can elevate our public speaking, influence, and overall communication skills. Through personal stories and practical advice, Melinda reveals how to access this flow and maintain it, even under high pressure. IMPOSTOR SYNDROME VS INFLUENCE One of the key topics Melinda addresses is overcoming Impostor Syndrome, a common issue even among successful professionals. She candidly shares her personal strategies for confronting and processing fears rather than ignoring them, detailing how this mindset shift has empowered her in her career. Overcoming Impostor Syndrome is the first step to becoming a person of influence. Melinda's journey from facing skepticism to winning over tough audiences highlights the importance of embodying feelings and connecting deeply with both oneself as well as the audience. We get into common misconceptions about public speaking, emphasizing that it goes far beyond just teaching. Effective speakers are those who can inspire change and transform lives by conveying not just the "how" but the "why." Focusing on "why" over "how" is a key component of influence. Through transformational speaking and podcasting, podcasters can build deeper connections with their listeners by exuding authenticity and engaging from the heart. MINDSET EXERCISE You will find great value in our conversation when Melinda introduces an exercise designed to help speakers move from being in their heads to speaking from the heart. One such exercise involves shifting self-affirmations from "I am a confident speaker" to "I am grateful to be a confident speaker," a simple yet powerful change that fosters greater connection and openness. Additionally, Melinda discusses the significance of self-awareness and self-reflection in overcoming barriers to communication and achieving peak performance. This step will help your influence blossom. Whether you're a podcaster looking to connect more deeply with your audience or a speaker aiming to transform lives, this episode is packed with insights to help you elevate your voice and impact.

This mirrors the experiences of many science communicators who may feel imposter syndrome when sharing their knowledge. Erica's journey illustrates that with practice and audience engagement, individuals can overcome self-doubt and effectively communicate their messages. Addressing Climate Doomism A significant theme in the episode is the concept of "climate doomism," where individuals feel overwhelmed by the dire state of the environment and may choose to disengage. Erica counters this by emphasizing the importance of hope and action. She references the Lorax movie's message, "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better." This perspective encourages individuals to take action, no matter how small, and to believe that collective efforts can lead to positive change.

Here are some key points that highlight the importance of thrifting and how sharing these practices can inspire others: The Benefits of Thrifting Reducing Waste: Thrifting helps to reduce the amount of textile waste that ends up in landfills. By purchasing secondhand clothing, individuals give new life to garments that might otherwise be discarded. This practice contributes to a circular economy, where items are reused rather than thrown away. Lowering Environmental Impact: The fashion industry is known for its significant environmental footprint, from water usage to pollution. By choosing thrifted items, consumers can minimize their impact on the environment.

Inspiring Others Through Social Media Sharing Experiences: Erica uses her TikTok platform to showcase her thrifting finds and sustainable fashion choices.
