## Resource

In our first Humans of Heated Rivalry episode, we meet Stefanie Kalem, a writer whose love for Heated Rivalry unexpectedly brought her back to creativity. We talk about romance and fantasy and about how Stefanie found a creative home in the HR fandom through fan fiction and podfic. At the heart of our conversation is the power of communication, connection, and giving yourself permission to be joyful, creative, and a little (or a lot) silly at any age.
