In this compelling episode of Bold Book of the Day, host Dr. Denise Nicholson welcomes Carla Stockton, author of Too Much of Nothing, a deeply personal memoir that explores survival, identity, and the quiet battles women face within themselves and society.

📖 From Refugee Roots to Feminist Reflections
Carla shares how her mother’s story as a Holocaust refugee—and her own journey as a first-generation American—shaped the themes of her book. What began as a thesis transformed into a bold, unflinching memoir that spans generations of trauma, resilience, and the search for self-worth.

💡 Themes You’ll Explore:

• Intergenerational guilt and the legacy of survival

• The shifting voice of feminism through the decades

• The struggles and triumphs of breaking free from societal and relational expectations

• The writing process as healing, resistance, and reclamation

🎤 Carla opens up about her career in creative nonfiction, her foray into screenwriting and educational theater, and the real-life challenges of balancing artistry with motherhood and partnership. Together, she and Dr. Denise dive into the importance of community, the strength of women supporting women, and how storytelling can transform lives.

✨ Whether you’re a writer, a woman navigating life’s transitions, or someone searching for identity and purpose, this episode offers both insight and inspiration.
