Join the Patreon Community today! In this episode I am sharing some thoughts on the in-between, the time in between where we are today and where we think we are supposed to be. In today’s episode we discuss: 1) The in-between is the most uncomfortable time, where we aren’t where we want to be yet, and we equate that to doing something wrong, not enough, or that we are on the wrong path. There is power in the pause and this is the in-between space. We are not yet who we want to be and have to grow into the version of the person who can hold and handle the next level of...

554 | What Lesson In Life Am I Most Grateful For?
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode I am sharing my own answer to the last question I ask every single guest, yet I don’t know if I have fully answered it myself. In today’s episode we discuss: 1) Where these questions originated from and why I wanted to include it at the end of each interview. 2) That no matter how isolated I feel in my situation or in my story, I am not alone. The only reason I feel alone is that I am making it about myself and I am not being open and vulnerable and those are strengths that I have cultivated over the years. Also what goes with this is when I feel alone I...

551 | The Progress You Can’t See
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode I am sharing some thoughts on the progress you can’t see, and how often we judge ourselves for the progress that we can’t see and then assume that nothing is happening.

info_outlineIn this episode, I am sharing the idea of writing your story. This journey of writing 7 years ago and I could never have imagined it would lead to this place of helping others to learn how to share and write their stories too.
So you have had this dream of becoming a published author but have no clue of where to start? Here are a few tips I wanted to share.
In this episode we discuss:
1) Who is going to benefit from your story? Who are you speaking to? It actually isn’t about us, that was a huge eye opener when I was writing my story.
2) Why are you being called to write? Can you write from a place of integrity about your story? What is being shared, what is off limits, what are the readers' takeaways?
3) What are the turning points in your story? This is where I was, this is what happened, and this is where I am now. Such a simple step process but that’s the general breakdown. You are the hero of your own story and that is what you are being called to share.
4) So if it is such a great idea then why don’t people do it? If you are ready to write your collaborative chapter or to dive into your solo book, I invite you to send me a quick email or book a discovery call to see if you’d like to join me in writing your book alongside me this year. https://calendly.com/mvanwyn761/discoverycall
