Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I am sharing the myth that you need someone to believe in order to have success in yourself.

Throughout the episode, I introduce the idea that our calling is uniquely ours—it's not a conference call where everyone else is expected to cheer us on. I encourage listeners to consider what it would feel like to believe in themselves...

818 | Raising the Floor Before Raising the Bar
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I recount my experience speaking at the Manifest Her event, where I participated in a wealth panel.

info_outlineI reflect on my own journey of writing my solo book, "When She Stopped Asking Why," which I began in 2016 and published in 2017. I share the challenges I faced, including the lack of support and the vulnerability of sharing my story while still living it. This experience led me to create the "Write Your Damn Book" mastermind, aimed at providing the support I wished I had during my writing process.
Throughout the episode, I explore the common barriers that prevent aspiring authors from writing their books. Many people feel their stories aren't significant enough, are overwhelmed by the enormity of the task, or struggle with self-doubt and perfectionism. I emphasize that these feelings are universal among writers, regardless of background or experience.
To help you overcome these obstacles, I discuss the importance of shifting your mindset and beliefs. Visualization techniques can be powerful tools in this process. I encourage you to imagine your readers holding your book, feeling seen and inspired by your story. By focusing on your "why" and recognizing that you are perfectly designed to help others who were once in your shoes, you can begin to dismantle the barriers holding you back.
