About this episode

Host Edith interviews children's book author Kate Hull about her mission to spread joy through her self-published books and literacy advocacy.

Host Edith welcomes children’s book author Kate Hull (joining from Florida) to discuss her Share Joy brand and her self-published Amazon children’s books: Where Does Joy Live?, Where Does Peace Live, and Where Does Love Live. Hull explains how Share Joy began with fresh flower bars at corporate and charity events and grew into a mission focused on helping people find joy, peace, and love. She describes the whimsical main characters—a young version of herself and her Yorkie, Kobe—and the books’ colorful, quick, poetic format, plus a related coloring book and her website (sharemorejoy.com). Hull shares her literacy advocacy, including her own childhood reading struggles and belief that children learn differently, and discusses how the books can support busy parents and even help adults rediscover joy. They also touch on Gen X childhood nostalgia, book-to-screen adaptations, libraries, writing communities, future projects (including a space-themed book and journals), and Hull’s preference for authentic creativity over AI. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 00:53 Tech Connects Readers 02:50 From Politics to Books 03:17 Share Joy Origins 06:00 Where Does Joy Live 08:14 Meet Kate and Kobe…
