Felice Cohen: A Love Letter to Letters

In this episode, I sit down with Felice Cohen, an author and professional organizer whose lifelong love of letter writing has become her newest creative frontier. Felice is in the midst of a yearlong experiment of handwriting one letter every day, which she shares in her Substack, A Love Letter to Letters: https://felicecohen.substack.com. With more than 1,000 saved letters from her own life, she is also crafting an “epistolary memoir” that weaves together correspondence with reflections on intimacy, nostalgia, and the enduring beauty of putting pen to paper.

Beyond her devotion to letters, Felice is the bestselling author of 90 Lessons for Living Large in 90 Square Feet (…or More), inspired by her time living in one of New York City’s smallest apartments, as well as Half In: A Coming-of-Age Memoir of Forbidden Love and What Papa Told Me, based on her grandfather’s Holocaust survival. Her books have been endorsed by Elie Wiesel, taught in classrooms worldwide, and honored with multiple awards.

We talk about what letters preserve that digital communication cannot, how personal correspondence becomes a record of connection and resilience, and why handwriting remains a radical act of presence.
