How a Passion for Writing Sparked a Creative Journey with Author and Entrepreneur Monique Maldonado
Monique Maldonado is the CEO at Maldina Publishing, LLC and the author of The Looking List. She's also been the Marketing Director at Latin Rhythms Academy of Dance & Performance for seven years. Her passion for writing and journaling at a young age led her to pursue a bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism at Columbia College Chicago. She then decided to continue her studies in the Arts and attended DePaul University and earned her Master's in New Media Studies.
The writing of a children's book developed from the idea of sharing some of her life's obsessions (planning & organization) and teaching valuable life skills to children. If there is one thing she has learned since becoming a mother herself, teaching children the way of the world is hard. Her mission is to create fun and colorful stories that parents can utilize as a fun parenting hack.
Monique is the wife of a rock star artist and the mother of two children. But she has also been a blogger, law school academic counselor, professional competitive Latin dancer & instructor, and a beauty pageant winner. When Monique isn't marketing or writing, you can find her crafting, at book club, running board meetings, watching movies, or planning her next party theme.

Creating the Hogwarts Little Free Library and Becoming a Writer with Author Charissa Bates
Charissa Bates is my guest today, and you’re in for such a beautifully inspiring story. With a little Harry Potter thrown in.
Charissa is a mother to three and is a survivor of a rare and aggressive cancer. She works as a Children's Mental Health Therapist and enjoys serving and volunteering. Charissa loves her Little Free Library that looks like Hogwarts. As a long time Harry Potter fan myself, this is one of the coolest little free libraries I’ve ever seen. Charissa enjoys creating and bringing her children on adventures, camping, and traveling. During cancer Charissa discovered how therapeutic writing was for her. Thus, three books were born: We Find Joy: Cancer Messed with the Wrong Family, The Traveling Book and I'm a good neighbor like Jesus. She lives by the words "Find Joy". Again, her most important role is being able to watch her three beautiful children grow up. Enjoy Charissa’s story.
