GiGi Meier welcomes bestselling author Annie Dike for a deeply personal and inspiring conversation about reinvention, storytelling, and the courage to begin again. Dike’s debut novel, Clovis, is rooted in her childhood growing up in New Mexico – a gritty coming-of-age story that blossomed from real memories and vivid recollections. We delve into the emotional core of the book, including the beautiful dedication to her mother who passed away during its creation, and get an exclusive reveal of her upcoming sequel, Austin.

But Annie’s journey doesn't stop there! She shares her incredible transformation – from lawyer to sailor, blogger to nonfiction author – revealing how she embraced curiosity and built a wildly successful career. Plus, we discuss her twelve years at sea, the magic of writing a series, and the surprising path that led her to international travel. Annie’s story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to reinvent yourself.
