How Ciaran Blumenfeld found her way as a mom of 4 and storyteller in many chapters of her career as a creative multi-prenuer, travel writer, social media marketer + tech startup founder, and now author and is now in hot pursuit to share stories and write as many books as she can.
- Growing up, Ciaran's dad was one of the "Mad Men" of advertising and watching him run his own agency was the catalyst for taking her own entrepreneurial path.
- Her early love for writing and comedy and how she met her husband at John Hopkins University at a comedy improv troupe.
- Why Ciaran says it is important to do the things that we're most afraid of and that light us up and why she wishes she would have trusted herself more and dove head into her passion for being a writer sooner.
- She is now a published author under the pen name Ciara Blume and her first series is called the Lit Lovers Series, a 5 book romantic comedy fiction series featuring the stories of a group of friends in Washington state.
- She's also the co-host of the new Time to Talk Travel podcast, which will include a new travel guide and activity book series coming out soon.
- She talks about an epic press trip to a small island in Mexico, camping under the stars with her family, surrounded by thousands of whales during migration season.
- And finally, she discovered in a genealogy search that travel and exploring is actually in her genes.
