What happens when a poet's daughter picks up the pen and starts writing her own stories? We invite you to join us this week on the Moms Who Create podcast, where we have the pleasure of chatting with the talented Nikki Bergstresser, an educator, author of children's books, and a sweet romance novel. Listen to Nikki's heartwarming journey of discovering her love for writing, inspired by her parents, and her experiences navigating the transition from being a hands-on parent to a facilitator and listener.

From her father's cancer diagnosis inspiring the children's book Seasons for Stones, to her love of Hallmark movies influencing her sweet romance novel, Saving Heart and Home, this conversation with Nikki is chock-full of inspiration and insights. We also discuss her current work facilitating online book clubs and writing classes for children, as well as presenting literature seminars for parents and educators. Don't miss this episode as we explore the magic of taking small steps that lead to beautiful journeys, all while balancing creative pursuits with motherhood responsibilities.
