This is a special little series within The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show, where we still skip the
small talk ... but this time, we're diving into the books that really stay with us. The ones that
spark big feelings, juicy questions, and honest reflections.
Our first author in the series is international best selling author Holly Ringland. In this
conversation we talk about finding joy through creativity and how we need to give ourselves
permission to create. These ideas are at the heart of Holly’s latest book, The House that Joy
Built. It’s a memoir of sorts and also a unicorn toolkit to help you face your fear and spark
your imagination again. I know it’s helped me and I think this conversation will nourish your
soul too!
Holly Ringland has also written the international best sellers, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart
and The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding.
And if you loved this conversation with Holly, I think you’ll love my chat with actor Jacqueline
McKenzie.
