In this episode, I’m talking about the power of being obsessed with your book — not in a tattoo-the-title-on-your-arm kind of way — but in a grounded, focused, I actually want to write this kind of way.
In this episode, we explore:

- The neuroscience behind energy, focus and getting your book finished
- How to choose the right idea to stay emotionally connected to
- The big mindset shift that helped me pivot book #8 — and finally enjoy writing again
