In July 2021, I saw an email that stopped me cold: a women’s writing retreat in Tuscany. Without overthinking, I clicked, paid the deposit, and marked my calendar. I was chasing a question that had been quietly simmering inside me: Am I a writer? That retreat was my yes. But here’s the truth—life happened. And the book I dreamed of writing? It’s still unwritten. But that doesn’t mean the story’s dead. That’s what today’s episode is about.
