About

Stephanie Quayle is a Nashville recording artist who tours the world with her music and an entrepreneur with her own record label, Big Sky Music Group. Rolling Stone Country called her “an artist you need to know,” CMT named her as part of its “Next Women of Country” franchise, and she’s appeared on popular programs like The Kelly Clarkson Show and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. As an indie artist with two Billboard charted singles, “Selfish” and “Whatcha Drinkin ’Bout,” she has repeatedly performed at CMA Fest and the Grand Ole Opry. The Montana native has teamed up with recognizable brands like Wrangler, Harley-Davidson, Bass Pro Shops, Montana Silversmiths, as well as Lucchese Bootmaker in the creation of her exclusive boot line. Quayle’s latest album On the Edge chronicles her personal experience in a toxic relationship and the healing she’s gone through since—inspiring others and redefining her future.

It is with great honor, joy, and a healthy dose of nerves that Stephanie shares with you her debut book, Why Do We Stay?. It will be on shelves April 30, 2024 and is available for preorder now online everywhere books are sold.

Why Do We Stay? is a continuation of the story she shared publicly for the first time on her album On the Edge, and with some additional insights from my friend W. Keith Campbell, PHD, they explore how to spot a toxic relationship, how to get out, and how to heal.

Have you ever found yourself belonging to a club you didn’t sign up for?

In learning that I wasn’t the only woman in my late boyfriend's life, I suddenly found myself a lifetime member of a strange club. A sisterhood of women who, though we had never met, were forever bound together by the colliding stories of his infidelities.

So, join me on today’s episode as I share more about the significance of writing Track 6, Strange Club, and how telling my truth has brought me even more freedom than I could have imagined.

Tune in to hear:

How the electric guitar line reflects the theme of the song
The camaraderie I have found in this strange little club
How healing can come through humor
Why the best way to tell my story was through music

Listen to the full album On The Edge and track 6 Strange Club HERE.

Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a circumstance in your life and wished you had the pen to rewrite the plot entirely? I mean, aren’t we supposed to be the main character of our own story?

Returning to the stage brought the little bit of lightness I needed to move forward into the heaviness of my reality -- and that is exactly the perspective I wrote Track 5, Fiction, from.

If you are in a situation you can’t wrap your head around and are longing for a way through, take a page out of my book and join me for today’s episode as I share,

Why this song unironically was a total rewrite
How fighting for lightness can provide a way through your pain
Why telling this story has been so valuable to my grieving process
How accepting your reality can free you to return to yourself
