Rhonda Byrne & Kelly Noonan Gores: Their top secrets for birthing global bestsellers
<p>The magical duo of Rhonda Byrne & Kelly Noonan Gores are rounding out a bucket list week here at the <em>Beautiful Writers Podcast</em>. After years of dreaming, writing, podcasting, and, more recently, recording my latest book, the audiobook for <em>Beautiful Writers: A Journey of Big Dreams & Messy Manuscripts—with Tricks of the Trade from Bestselling Authors</em> (aka the guests of this show!) pubbed just before posting this episode. </p><p>When I thought about who, among all the writers in the world, I wanted to share the momentous occasion of my audiobook birthday with, the answer was crystal clear. Kelly is not just a dear friend but also someone whose life and career have been profoundly shaped by Rhonda's work, starting with <em>The Secret</em> film that captivated the world in 2006. As you'll hear, I don't think I'd have ever seen my name on the <em>New York Times</em> bestseller's list (in 2008) without Rhonda's influence, so I had a strong feeling this conversation would be particularly intimate, spiritual, and delightful, which is precisely how it turned out. I hope you feel it, too. Not to mention, Ms. Byrne's writing and publishing stories are mind-blowingly fun, and her FAITH (ALL CAPS) in the Universe is contagious—yes, please. </p><p>Rhonda's energy feels so pure to me, even angelic, which helps me better understand why she's so beloved and why <em>The Secret </em>has been published in fifty languages and is one of the most successful books of this century. (On the comments on Amazon, for example, I found 33,930 5-star reviews, with a stream of testimonials from readers reporting emotional, life-changing miracles.) With beautiful Kelly, the creator of the hit documentary and book <em>HEAL</em>, by my side, I feel surrounded by love and the highest vibrations, like the luckiest girl at the party. Their work has inspired many millions worldwide, and I hope it inspires you too.</p><p>Thank you for dreaming your dreams right along with us. Write on!</p><p>Linda xo</p><p><br/></p>

Dr. Jody Carrington: Self-Pub Superstars, Part 2
<p>I can't with this soulmate client. I'm pressed for words to share how much I love this woman, author, and communicator. I promise you've never met anyone like Dr. Jody Carrington. I call her Canada's Brené Brown (mixed with some Jerry Seinfeld), so that's close. But, well. Just see for yourself.<br/><br/>When I met Jody at one of my Carmel retreats at the start of her writing career, it only took two minutes to know that I was sitting with a superstar. I'd never before encouraged someone to forgo traditional publishing and run straight into self-publishing, but that was the vibe. Within months, Jody had sold so many pre-orders for <em>Kids These Days: A Game Plan for (Re)Connecting with Those We Teach, Lead, & Love</em> that she funded her first two printings. A quarter of a million books later and a second in the series (<em>Teachers These Days: Stories and Strategies for Reconnection</em>), Jody was approached by a top-five publisher for her latest book, <em>Feeling Seen: Reconnecting in a Disconnected World</em>.<br/><br/>Jody is a mama, a wife, a speaker, and a connector. She's a first responder, the rare psychologist who cherishes going into schools AFTER a school shooting to soothe hearts and minds. Her capacity for caring for her people (and other people's people) is unending. Plus, she has the most delightful potty mouth while simultaneously making you laugh and cry. <br/><br/>I could write my own book on her countless accomplishments and benefits, and I will. I want to get this posted now before a day of appointments. But for now, I'll close by saying that if you want to write, speak, and touch the masses, you couldn't be in better hands. </p><p>Welcome. </p>
