Murphy Funkhouser Capps: there is no shame in a life well-traveled

Murphy Funkhouser Capps has lived many, many lives. She’s been a military preacher’s daughter. A theater geek. A bible college dropout. Lived in a car. A party girl. A six-figure earner and then broke. A single mom. A married mom. A playwright. An entrepreneur. A branding specialist. Unemployed. Fired. A CEO. A storyteller. And, above all, a survivor.

This is Murphy’s story. Much of it anyway. From the child to the woman, through the dark and into the light. It’s all here. A gloriously beautiful, totally messed up, well-traveled life.

Some things we talk about:

• repression, creativity, and freedom,


• her dark period of alcohol, drug abuse and homelessness


• writing an award-winning play and


• going from broke, single mom to owner of a seven-figure a year branding business
