You know that dream you have to write a book? The one that shows up uninvited while you're in the shower or staring out the window on a Tuesday?
Once it hits, it won't go away.
I got to talk about that dream recently, and why the women who have the most to say are so often the ones who keep waiting to feel ready.
Samantha Hawley invited me onto her Beyond Awareness podcast, and honestly, it became one of those conversations I didn't want to end. We talked about what's actually in the way of your book.
It's trust. Trust in yourself, your story, and the version of you that already knows what she wants to say. But in order to have that trust, you need to give yourself those little delicious moments in other areas every day or you are going to continue giving your energy away to everyone else, and not have any left for your creative freedom.
We also got into identity shifts, why perfectionism is just fear wearing a blazer, and why writing the book you have right now is what shapes you into the writer you'll be in five years.
The woman you want to be with a voice, a passion and purpose... not minimized by all the areas of your life pulling at you (that can make a false sense of importance.)
I felt this podcast episode with Samanta was so delicious that I built a whole This Delicious Life™ episode around our conversation.
In this honest and frank interview, you will learn:
How to know if you have a book versus just a complaint dump.
How a book can help you put voice to your feelings.
You'll receive guidance on how to stop clinging so tightly to your book ideas.
I wrote one book on permission and then at the guidance of a book professional, evolved it to something more akin to this brand. I tossed that book and wrote a new one, and then found a book agent because the newest book was more aligned to the joy and purpose that was bubbling out of me.
We can wear our book journey lightly, not like some mission we can never get done. We can let expand and flow, and how you do time in your life is going to dictate how you find time to be in the book process.
