Listen "441. Mariana Narváez on Mexico City, Creativity, Writing from the Heart, and Living With Intention"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Rich Conversations, we sit down with novelist and children’s book author Mariana Narváez in the heart of Mexico City. We talk about what makes the city so magical—from jacaranda trees to its thriving café culture—before diving into Mariana’s creative journey.
She shares how heartbreak led her from anonymous Instagram poetry posts to writing a 300-page novel in her iPhone notes app, how she crafts children’s books inspired by her nieces, and how therapy shaped her ability to embrace authenticity in her art and life. We explore the differences between being a writer and becoming an author, the value of critique, and why good stories often come from bad decisions.
It’s a thoughtful and inspiring conversation on expression, growth, and creating art that lasts.
