    Finding Balance with Dahlia Rose

    Finding Balance with Dahlia Rose

    Dahlia Rose is a USA Today bestselling author with over seven dozen books published in the last 15 years. Born in Barbados, her books feature relatable women of color with a hint of Caribbean spice. 

    She always dreamed of becoming a writer, but it was when her husband was deployed to Iraq that her dream took off. She sent him stories to keep him upbeat, and he kept asking for more. With encouragement, she started sending the stories out on query, and she never really stopped. 

    There have been bumps along the way—anxiety, stress, hand surgeries, and more—so the trick to becoming sustainable has been relearning how to find balance in the midst of life.

    To learn more, be sure to listen to today’s episode of The Fearless Storyteller podcast.

Love the interviews on this podcast. It’s great to hear the ways people found the courage to step into doing the work they love. Each interview has a different story to tell – even though they are all writers in some way, it’s a diverse representation. Inspiring for those of us making our living doing work we love.
