It’s the favorite kind of debut: when a podcast superfan becomes a published author and takes the mic! This week, we welcome Olivia Carter (aka Andréa Jones) to chat about her new romance novel Soft Launch, the first in the Zeta Love series.

Nikki & Meg talk about:

* Her path from reader to writer (including whispering sex scenes while holding a baby)

* Navigating shame, self-doubt, and “soft launching” your author identity

* Writing characters who are soft, chaotic, anxious, neurodivergent, and joyful—and not needing to be “fixed”

* How being online (and going viral) can bring visibility and vulnerability in equal measure

Come for the book talk, stay for the rant about performative wellness, building your own penis kits, and the spiritual relevance of crop tops.
