Buckle up, Radiant Icons—this episode is full throttle! 🚦

Carly Robyn, author of the Drive Me series, joins us to talk about carving her own lane as a female writer in a male dominated sports space. From owning her confidence to writing fierce, complex female leads, Carly spills the tea on how she blends sports and romance while staying unapologetically true to herself.

We’re talking representation in motorsport, therapy as a game-changer, and the power of storytelling—plus, Carly drops some juicy teasers for her next projects (you know we love an exclusive!).

💥 Start your engines and hit play—this is one ride you don’t want to miss.
