What happens when a life spent observing, feeling, and questioning everything becomes the very foundation of a creative calling? 

In this episode, Rich Wright sits down with Lucinda Sage-Midgorden, a storyteller, educator, author, podcaster, and lifelong student of the human experience whose creative journey is as layered as the stories she tells. Lucinda grew up moving from town to town across the Pacific Northwest, learning early how to read a room, adapt to new environments, and find her footing in unfamiliar places. 

That constant navigation did not just teach her resilience. It taught her how to see people. How to observe the invisible forces shaping behavior. And eventually, how to ask the question that would change everything: not "why is this happening to me," but "what am I supposed to learn from this?"

Lucinda's story is a masterclass in the long arc of the artistic life. She shares how her father, a self-taught dyslexic machinist and lay minister, used family movie nights to teach his children how to think about human nature. How journaling saved her at the moment she needed it most. How the theater community became the first place she felt truly seen. And how a decision to sell their house and circle the globe with her husband Barry became the defining act of creative courage in her life.Her spiritual thread runs quietly through all of it. From a childhood confirmation that cracked her heart wide open, to leaving a toxic church environment because she heard four words clearly in her mind, to studying Deepak Chopra, M. Scott Peck, and Gregg Braden as she built a new interior life rooted in New Thought and Reiki practice. 

For Lucinda, creativity and spirituality have never been separate. Her mentor said it best, and she has carried it with her ever since: theater is a spiritual endeavor.

Today, Lucinda is the host of the Story Power Podcast, co-creator of the Classic Cinema with the Sage Sisters YouTube channel, author of the dual-timeline novel The Space Between Time, and the founder of Sage Woman Chronicles, a blog she built to practice her craft and sharpen her voice.
