In this episode, I chat with Jessie Rosen about her journey from a young girl writing stories to becoming a successful author with multiple bestsellers. She discusses the transition from Hollywood to literature, the importance of collaboration, and the impact of audience on her writing. Jessie reflects on her personal experiences, including the influence of family and the significance of vulnerability in storytelling. She also delves into the themes of her latest novel, All the Signs, which explores astrology and personal growth. Based on her experience writing across multiple platforms, Jessie makes a strong case for the importance of sharing your work and finding your unique voice.
