What happens when a life spent in international development turns into fiction?
In this episode, debut novelist Johanna Kirwan joins me to talk about her stunning book Seven Lives — seven interconnected stories of women navigating love, loss, and purpose across the globe.
We dive into:
How Johanna transformed decades of field experience into layered, human stories
The line between autofiction and memoir — and why she chose fiction
The creative freedom that comes with writing later in life
Her choice to publish with small press Fire & Feather, instead of chasing an agent
It’s a conversation about purpose, legacy, and writing the stories that stay with you — even after the work ends.
