What if a single lunch meeting could flip your life? In this episode of The Delusional Optimist I sit down with internationally bestselling author Paige Toon to unpack how a casual conversation led to a two-book deal, why she still writes best under pressure, and how she keeps readers turning pages through heartbreak, longing, and hope.
From the first spark of Lucy In The Sky to three million copies sold, Paige opens up about the messy middle of creativity and the grit behind those swoony, high-chemistry moments.
This conversation is part craft class, part pep talk. We chat about imposter syndrome, protecting your voice, and the power of writing what you love rather than what you think you should.
If you’ve ever stared down a blank page, questioned your timeline, or wondered whether your story matters, this one is for you.
