Welcome back to B is for Book Coach. Today, we’re making space for weeds.
Do you remember last spring, when I landed in the middle of a tangled mess of roots in my garden bed—one that I decided could serve as a metaphor for my life?
It started with an attempt to clear surface level weeds from a garden bed tucked alongside my house, journeyed through the pit of despair that was the realization that those roots ran deep, and ended with the hope that the medicinal plants gifted to me by a friend would take root.
Months later, I am pleased to announce that…this project is still a metaphor for my life.
- An update on the garden bed (spoiler: the weeds won)
- Weeds as stories
- How obligation overwhelm is fueled by stories
- Where we find choices that lift the weight and reframe our next steps
The B is for Book Coach space is one way I create direct support for authors as they bring their books to life.
If you’d like to expand that space for someone else, contributing to the Mutual Momentum fund brings those services to authors who need more than just space to get started. You can make a one-time contribution here, or you can subscribe to keep the forward movement going for us all.
Be sure to subscribe on Substack or wherever you listen to podcasts to catch every coaching moment to come. And when more of your book is ready to emerge, the space we made today will be here waiting for you.
