Kara talks with writer and narrative alchemist Robin Finn, MPH, MA, the author of HEART. SOUL. PEN.® She is also the creator of HeartiFacts,® a writing mentorship community.

Robin opens up about her unconventional path to becoming a writer, how spiritual psychology shaped her creative purpose, and why she believes women have “magic” in their words.

The conversation dives into the power of community, why women often doubt the value of their stories, and how consistency—not inspiration—is the real key to a writing practice.

With humor and vulnerability, Robin discusses motherhood, menopause, viral essays, and her passion for helping women finish their heartfelt writing projects.
