About this listen

In this deeply moving episode of Finish the Damn Book, host Susie Schaefer sits down with author, artist, and advocate Esthela Nunez Franco, whose memoir Seven Stories for My Father: Letters of Love and Legacy honors the life and wisdom of her late father.

Esthela shares her powerful journey of immigrating from Mexico at age 10, discovering her voice through writing, and learning how storytelling can help us process grief, reconnect with our roots, and preserve the memories that matter most. Together, she and Susie explore the healing power of creativity, intuition, and faith—and how finishing a book can become an act of love and legacy.

You’ll also hear Esthela’s reflections on health advocacy, spiritual synchronicities, and the lessons she learned about embracing both life and death with courage and grace.
