In this heartfelt episode of the Authors On Mission Podcast, host Danielle Hutchinson sits down with author June Kraholik to explore how personal tragedy shaped her mission-driven writing journey.

June shares the story behind her memoir Mama, You Don’t Heal, which challenges traditional grief models by rejecting the idea of “healing” and instead focusing on learning to live with loss. She opens up about her intuitive writing process—quiet reflection, organic idea flow, and raw honesty—that allows her to create deeply relatable stories.

You’ll also hear how June expanded her mission into fiction with Whispered Promises, a contemporary romance inspired by her own life experiences. Her goal: to write realistic, emotionally rich stories that resonate beyond “fairy tale” narratives.

Practical insights from this episode include:

1. Nonfiction tip: Write raw and real, straight from the heart.
2. Fiction tip: Slow down and feel what you’re writing—don’t just put words on paper.
3. Life lesson: Moving forward after loss begins with a firm decision to commit 100%.

June also teases upcoming projects, including a follow-up to Mama, You Don’t Heal and a new beach-set romance novel.
