Whimsy Soul found its voice through our founder, Kara Harms, and is now joined by a chorus of Whimsy Writers.
You’ll recognize Kara as the face of the blog, and the heart! Yet there are many other minds and personalities at work behind the keyboard.
Robin, Kara’s husband and Whimsy Soul co-founder, is also a burgeoning home chef, cameraman extraordinaire, admin whiz, and sports guy.
Our diverse and ever-growing team of Whimsy Writers also includes a practicing witch and spiritual coach, a journalist who specializes in women’s and gender studies, a novelist-slash-podcaster with a penchant for mixed drinks, a mental health advocate who’s passionate about LGBTQ+ issues and veganism, and more.
Each contributor brings their unique expertise, education, and experience to the subjects they write about. We also have a talented team of women who help keep Whimsy Soul running.
Kara Harms
CEO & Co-Founder
I’m a type 3 enneagram cat lady who lives in San Francisco and loves to find everyday magic to share with others. You can probably find me hunting down hot springs with girlfriends, kayaking, cooking with Robin, drinking local Pinot Noir, or watching like, all the things on Netflix.
Robin Berenson
Photographer, Admin & Co-Founder
Just like Kara, I grew up in Wisconsin. I met her while working at a summer camp in 2011 and the rest was history. At Whimsy Soul I take most of the photos and handle admin stuff. When I’m not working you can usually find me in our kitchen making a batch of my famous pickles or sourdough, playing with our cat Twyla, watching the latest game of anything, and learning about topology. Or calculus. Or quantum mechanics (I like math!)
Twyla
Assistant to the Regional Manager
Kara & Robin adopted Twyla from the San Francisco SPCA and *think* she’s half Ragdoll, half Maine Coon. She was briefly an adventure cat but Twyla decided she prefers the luxury of indoors and that WFH life. She is the chattiest cat anyone has ever met and has an opinion about everything. When she’s not napping, of course.
Taylor
Editorial Manager
Hi, hello! My name is Taylor. I’m just a gal trying to find her way. I love to read outside, find new places to explore and take long walks. I’m known to break into song at random, like to buy books as souvenirs, and I always have a cup of coffee in my hand. I’m from Texas, but currently reside in San Luis Obispo, California with my boyfriend and pup. Follow my adventures on Instagram!

Meg Mezeske
Whimsy Writer & Copywriter
I’m just your average author-podcaster-beekeeper-dilettante. When I’m not writing about pop culture or food, I’m podcasting about it. Catch me at the nearest movie theater, used bookstore, or hipster cocktail bar.
Jafei Pollitt
Whimsy Writer
I’m an avid pathos plant grower, hamster enthusiast, and a sucker for a good spell! When I’m
not writing, you can find me outside attempting to do some yoga or trying out a new boba shop.

Kerasa Dimitrios Tsokas
Whimsy Writer
I’m a first-generation Greek American and despite being a born and raised San Franciscan, my love for the city is like a seesaw. When I’m not ranting about fatphobia, you can find me photographing nature, eating food and learning about other cultures respectfully. Follow me on Instagram for body image discussions!
Janell Blair
Whimsy Writer
I’m a copywriter and virtual stylist that’s always on the hunt for the latest in beauty and fashion. When I’m not writing or styling, I’m usually taking photographs or testing beauty products. My go-to makeup look is bold eyeliner paired with a glossy pink or nude lip. Iced coffee, indie music, and online shopping are my mood boosters.
Sarah Muskovitz
Whimsy Writer
I’m your pretty typical millennial-queer-NYC-transplant with an intense love for the city and all her glory. I’m passionate about mental health awareness, LGBTQ+ issues, veganism, and being a dog, cat, and horse mom. Find me @saraheilene on Instagram!
