In today’s episode, I’m delighted to be joined by Courtney Walsh, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of heartwarming, low-spice romance and contemporary women’s fiction. A Carol Award winner and Christy Award finalist, Courtney is a storyteller devoted to crafting light-hearted yet poignant, character-driven novels that offer a safe and joyful escape.


We’re here to talk about her newest novel, Everything’s Coming Up Rosie (https://amzn.to/43y2T0R) , but as always, our conversation touches much deeper themes—life, creativity and how we show up for the people and passions that matter most.


Courtney shares what she’s learned through writing: about staying present in the story, parenting through different seasons and redefining priorities as life evolves. We talk about saying no with confidence, the comfort of rom-coms over thrillers and the kind of books that soothe rather than stir anxiety. Her goal? To be the writer readers turn to in their heaviest seasons—for warmth, laughter and a little bit of swoon.



Episode Highlights:



• Why setting boundaries is essential to honoring your priorities.
• The comfort of reading books that don’t trigger your anxiety.
• The evolution of priorities through the stages of life and motherhood.
• Writing older characters as a way to bring wisdom into fiction.
• The value of writing joyful stories in a heavy world.
