Bestselling author Kennedy Ryan joins Kail on Barely Famous for an intimate and empowering conversation about writing love stories that reflect real life. From her deeply intentional Skyland series to her immersive research process, Kennedy shares how she crafts romance novels that center marginalized voices, explore complex relationships, and challenge what “happily ever after” really means. She opens up about autism advocacy, motherhood, depression, and why it’s critical to normalize blended families, child-free women, and Black love on bookshelves and beyond. Plus, she gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at her upcoming Peacock TV adaptation, dream collaborations, and the inspiration behind Can’t Get Enough. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to her books, this episode is a masterclass in storytelling, feminism, and refusing to settle for less.Get Can't Get Enough HereFor full video episodes head to patreon.com/kaillowry and to keep update with Kail and The Chaos subscribe to her newsletter at kaillowry.comThanks for supporting the show by checking out the sponsors!Hiya: for 50% off their best selling children’s vitamin head to hiyahealth.com/famousShopify: Start your one dollar a month free trial period at shopify.com/famousNutrafol: Start your hair growth journey with Nutrafol nutrafol.com promo code FAMOUSGIFTBoulevard: Right now, Boulevard is offering new customers 10% off your first year subscription when you go to joinblvd.com/FAMOUS and book a demo.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
