After years of dreaming and doubting, Brianna J.J. Brown has officially become a published author. In this intimate episode, she’s taking you behind the scenes of the journey that led to her debut novel, Perpetually 24. 

This isn’t just a writing story—it’s a becoming story. It’s about heartbreak, identity, healing, and the quiet power of finally telling the truth on your own terms.

Brianna opens up about the real emotions and lived experiences that inspired her fictional protagonist, Aria Rose. She shares how Perpetually 24 came together: late-night journal entries, real-life heartbreaks, Trello boards, and love letters rewritten into fiction. One messy, magical piece at a time, this story came to life.

You’ll hear:

  • How fiction and personal truth intertwined to create a story that’s both deeply vulnerable and universally relatable
  • What it felt like to write through grief, loss, and old wounds—and how the writing process became an unexpected form of healing
  • Why Perpetually 24 speaks to anyone who’s ever outgrown a version of themselves and is still figuring out who they’re meant to be
  • The creative chaos behind the book—from voice memos and love letters to Trello boards and midnight writing sessions

If you’ve ever lost yourself in love, doubted your worth, or chased healing through art—this episode will hit home.
