Only a tiny percentage of women ever reach seven figures in business. That’s one of the reasons I’m writing my next book—and in this episode, you get a front-row seat as I begin to frame it with my publisher and book coach, Debbie Jenkins.

This isn’t just about writing. It’s about documenting an experiment: can I build a Million Euro business without burning out? And how do you capture the subtle shifts, the liminal moments, and the messy in-betweens that really change us along the way?

Inside this raw, unfiltered conversation, you’ll hear:

• 
  

  Why books fail when they map a journey instead of marking a landmark transformation.

  
  


• 
  

  How to journal like an investigative reporter and never lose the insights that matter most.

  
  


• 
  

  The 4F prompts (Failure, Firsts, Feck-Ups, and Fightbacks) to turn setbacks into fuel for growth.

  
  


• 
  

  Why vulnerability isn’t about oversharing—it’s about showing what wakes you at 4am and how you carry on anyway.

  
  


• 
  

  How to set powerful public intentions and hack serendipity so opportunities find you.

  
  

If you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book—or simply want to see what it takes to step fully into your own edge of potential—this episode will give you both the courage and the practical tools to start.
