What started as sharing her story online about living with chronic illness turned into a book deal with Penguin Random House. In this episode, Gigi Robinson shares how she leveraged consistency, relationships, and a clear vision to go from content creator to published author.

Here’s what we get into:

• Why she chose to write A Kid’s Book About Chronic Illness (and how it ended up getting picked up by Penguin/DK).
• The ridiculously simple promo strategy Gigi swears by: bring the book everywhere and make it part of the conversation.
• Why she went the children’s book route to make a heavy topic more digestible.
• Her take on promotion as storytelling, not selling.
• How she filters advice from all the "experts” while staying aligned with her bigger vision.
