We all love the idea of writing a book, don’t we? That dream of holding your words in your hands, of sharing your story with the world, of finally saying “I did it.” But the truth is — writing a book is not all coffee shop moments and creative bursts. It’s a journey filled with resistance, discipline, emotion, and deep personal reflection. And sometimes, the hardest part isn’t putting words on the page… it’s what you have to let go of to get there.

In this solo episode, I’m getting real about my own writing journey — the good, the bad, and yes, the ugly. I’ve been working on my first solo book for over a year and a half, and today, I’m pulling back the curtain on what this process has really looked like. If you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book (or finishing any big project), this conversation is for you.

Tune in as I share with you:

•
