In this episode we talk with Erika Modrak, the author of Resistant: A World Divided. Erika wanted to be a bestselling author since the age of nine but focused on gymnastics for most of her childhood. When she broke both arms, her Olympic dreams were shattered, but the characters of Cat and Wren, the main characters in her recently released novel were born. We talk with Erika about the twists and turns her life took after she had to give up gymnastics and how she finally realized her dream of publishing a book. 

Also, a bonus segment: our arbitrary January fresh starts.
