This episode is for the writer who knows something feels off—in their process, their mindset, their creative life—but can’t quite name it. Here’s what I’ve learned: the reason you can’t name it is that your body already knows something your brain hasn’t caught up to yet.

This episode is the final part of our self-publishing workshop. Today I’m talking with my long-time client and friend, Melinda Kinghorn. She self-published her memoir, Walking Through Addiction, earlier this month, and has had an amazing few weeks of celebrating and sharing about her finally published memoir.

This episode is for the writer who really, really wants a published book. I know that desire can be all-consuming and it comes from a deeply passionate and aligned place in your heart. What happens, though, is that this passion can blind you to how you move through the creative process. That’s what I want to talk about today and the reframe that I want you to embrace. Are you paying attention to your process? And if not, how can you integrate that shift into your creative work?

And in shepherding my client through the self-publication process this year, my eyes were opened to a whole new side of the creative process.

This episode is for the writer who is looking at their publishing options. In 2026, the publishing routes available to you are many, and I want you to have the tools you need to discern which one is the best fit for you. What I want to break down in this episode specifically is the reframe that self-publishing does not need to be your Plan B. My intention in these next 20 minutes or so is to both educate you on how publishing actually works and help you pay attention to the process of publishing more than the product, so you can make an informed and empowered decision as the author.

Today’s episode is going into how you might be making your writing life harder, and what you can shift today to make that creative flow easier to access.

You’re not feeling inspired, and every time you sit down to draft, you stare at that blinking cursor until you pick up your phone and mindlessly scroll until only ten minutes are left in your writing window and you’ve barely written a paragraph.
