Head Honey Felicia Pride welcomes actress and author Robinne Lee to talk about writing romance for women over 40 and living out her Parisian dreams. Robinne also tells us about her early years balancing her passion for acting with her pursuit of a law degree and how she is truly comfortable in her own skin at this stage in her life. Plus, we dive into her bestselling novel The Idea of You, it's wildly popular adaptation to the big screen that starred Anne Hathaway, and the importance of women owning their desires–unapologetically.
