About this listen

In this episode of For Love of Memoir, I talk with Erika C. Lowenkopf about her memoir, Missing the Boat. Erika’s book is told in three acts and takes us through the lasting wounds of childhood bullying, the grief of infertility, and the surprising adventure that helped her rediscover joy.

With honesty, vulnerability, and humor, Erika shares what it means to live through pain and still find light along the way.

🎙️ In our conversation, we explore:

  • How childhood bullying shaped her sense of self—and how she reclaimed her voice

  • Breaking the silence around infertility and childlessness

  • Why laughter became one of her most important survival tools

  • The unexpected journey that brought hope and belonging back into her life

This is a conversation about resilience, courage, and the power of writing to transform our hardest stories into connection.
