488: Why A Growth Mindset Matters In The Writing Life (Write Big, Ep 12)

January 23, 2026·13 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In this short Write Big session, Jennie Nash unpacks the power of a growth mindset—an idea popularized by psychologist Dr. Carol Dweck—and why it’s non-negotiable for anyone who wants to keep learning, keep creating, and keep going when writing gets hard. Mastery isn’t about talent you’re born with, it’s about the willingness to be uncomfortable, look imperfect, and keep showing up until the skill catches up to the desire.Hey - if you’ve been curious about becoming a book coach, Jennie’d like to invite you to a live training she’s doing on February 4th, at 5pm PST / 8pm EST. She’s going to be talking about how to become the kind of book coach writers love to pay. You can sign up at bookcoaches.com/live
