This week I received an email from a @YMWJPodcast listener who shared this experience about listening to Ep. 8: “I could feel a calmness come over me--- much like a warm blanket or a hug from a friend.” Literally the best compliment a listener could give 🥹😭

Such beautiful words for life, and the writing/publication journey. May we sit in the in between today 💜 #writingcommunity #kidlit

Kids are the best! That’s who we write for and hearing their ideas always inspires me. This was a perfect way to blend kids and publishing professionals and it was so much fun!
