Joining us from New York, Brooklyn-based children’s book author and illustrator Melissa Iwai is on the podcast!! 🤩💐💝

I met Melissa in 2019 when she was revisiting CHS with her husband. I immediately fell in love with her art and am so excited to now interview her all these years later!! 🎙️

In this episode, Melissa talks about her journey, motivations, life as a freelance artist of 25 years, and the value of pursuing your passions. (That part really spoke to my heart. 🥹)

Do yourself a favor and check out her work!:

"I'm here for you" is a concept I've always struggled with... HOW can I be there for someone, truly, in the right way? In this episode I talk about how the best person you can be for others in their time of need is, oftentimes, yourself. What are you good at-- what do YOU uniquely have to offer-- that can bless the people in your life?

I hope this helps-- thank you so much for listening. :)

In this episode I talk about the power of saying your dreams (big or small) out loud, and how that has made me decide to restructure my interviews. (Future guests, prepare to talk dreams!)
