Jen Hamilton is a labor and delivery nurse known on the internet for her informative (and often hilarious) videos about healthcare. But before entering the world of content creation, Hamilton was an emergency room nurse. After working her way up to assistant director in that department, she realized she needed a change from the chaotic nature of the ER and pivoted into labor and delivery. During the pandemic, she began making content about nursing and providing insight into healthcare on social media, and since then, she’s created a community of over 6 million followers across platforms. This past May, she also added author to her extensive résumé when she released her first book, Birth Vibes, which quickly became number one on the New York Times Best Seller list.

Isabel Klee is the author of Dogs, Boys, and Other Things I’ve Cried About, which recently hit number one on the New York Times best-seller list. However, before writing her debut book, Klee graduated from college with a degree in English language and literature, and shortly after, began working as an assistant to a dog photographer. During this time, she also began creating content related to her own foster dogs on social media. After working for the photographer for seven years, she was unexpectedly let go and pivoted to freelance content creation and dedicated more time to her own growing social media presence. Her content about rehabilitating foster dogs captured the hearts of many, and today, she has over a million followers on TikTok. She eventually stopped freelancing to focus full-time on both her own platform and writing her debut book, which was released in April of this year. Her memoir is now being developed into a TV series, in which Klee will serve as an executive producer.
