389. Women Who Did: Started a Book Club, featuring Kara

from To Your Health · host Esther Avant

Kara shares how starting a simple book club during a season when she barely had an hour to herself became a source of connection, identity, and momentum during frequent moves and overwhelming stages of motherhood.We talk about what it actually looks like to build community from scratch, why book clubs work so well for adults craving deeper connection, and how reading can be a surprisingly powerful alternative to screens, small talk, and default social habits.Kara also walks through how that first book club eventually led to a podcast, author interviews, speaking opportunities, and a renewed sense of confidence—without any grand plan at the start.Kara Infante is the creator and host of the top-rated Bookish Flights podcast.
