Kara shares how starting a simple book club during a season when she barely had an hour to herself became a source of connection, identity, and momentum during frequent moves and overwhelming stages of motherhood.

We talk about what it actually looks like to build community from scratch, why book clubs work so well for adults craving deeper connection, and how reading can be a surprisingly powerful alternative to screens, small talk, and default social habits.

Kara also walks through how that first book club eventually led to a podcast, author interviews, speaking opportunities, and a renewed sense of confidence—without any grand plan at the start.

Kara Infante is the creator and host of the top-rated Bookish Flights podcast. Kara believes we all have a story to tell. That story can be told by our favorite books. She is a passionate believer that books are a wonderful way to foster friendships and community. She is a military spouse that lives in San Diego, California with her husband and three children. When she is not busy creating or reading, you would most likely find her outside exploring with family and friends.
