About Robin Finn
I’m Robin Finn, MPH, MA, and I’m passionate about sharing women’s stories. I’m an award-winning writer, teacher, and coach—and the founder and creator of Heart. Soul. Pen.®, a transformational course that blends deep-dive writing with radical self-expression for women. I’m also the creator of Hot Writing™, where midlife and menopause spark the desire to say what you mean without apologizing. I’m on the faculty of UCLA Extension Writer’s Program where I teach the Women’s Writing Workshop Weekend and I’m the author of the new book, Heart. Soul. Pen.: Find Your Voice on the Page and in Your Life (Morehouse Publishing, April 30, 2024) and the novel Restless in L.A. (Inkspell, 2017).
My second book, Heart. Soul. Pen.: Find Your Voice on The Page and In Your Life—is a soulful guide designed to help women tap into their truth and creativity through the power of the written word. It’s more than a book—it’s an invitation to come home to yourself. And for those ready to take their writing even further, I created Heartifacts™, a guided Mastermind experience where women craft a personal legacy piece—a soulful artifact made of words that captures their becoming.
My writing has appeared in national and international press, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper, and more. My (very personal) personal essay, “When Our Daughter Walked In On Us,”was one of The New York Times Most Read Stories of 2019. My work has been internationally syndicated, shared in Mamamia, Australia’s largest independent women’s media site, featured on the BBC podcast “Sacred Objects,” and anthologized.
Over the two decades, I’ve immersed myself in the study and practice of public health, education & training, spiritual psychology, parenting, and writing. I have master’s degrees in public health from Columbia University with a specialization in women’s health, and in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica.
Everything I do is rooted in helping women dig into their truth, find their voice on the page, and radically express themselves—because when you write from the heart, you reconnect to your truest self. I believe this process transforms your writing and your life.
I live in Los Angeles with my family, where I write about midlife, creativity, spirituality, and the messy beauty of becoming who you are. I’m a longtime advocate for children with ADHD and learning differences.
