Eileen Robertson Hamra is the author of the newly released Time to Fly: Life and Love After Loss, which immediately captivated me. Her honest vulnerability about the journey through a tragedy the likes of which I am blessed to not be able to imagine kept me riveted. Even though I've not experienced this degree of loss, I was able to incorporate her lessons of strength into my journey, and for that, I know I will be a better person. This is the magic of stories.

We discussed:

• Her why, and how it morphed over the course of writing the book
• The realization that took the pressure off of "imposter syndrome" and needing to write the "perfect" book
• How to write without pressuring yourself to be a spokesperson or grief counselor
• What to look for in an independent publishing house
• The most surprising aspect of the writing process (hint: " whole book?!?!")
• The most freeing realization when writing that removes doubt and fear of others' reactions
• Her biggest fear when it came to releasing the book
• Her suggestion for those still in the writing phase to keep pushing through moments of doubt
• What she hopes for this book to allow in her professional life going forward
