57. Hire the Damn Nanny (Because Doing It Alone Is Keeping You Stuck)
If you’ve been trying to do everything on your own… this is your wake-up call.
In this episode, I’m sharing what hiring a nanny taught me about burnout, support, and why so many people never finish their book. Because it’s not about time—it’s about trying to do it alone.
If you’ve had a book on your heart, this will hit.
Inside:
Why doing it all yourself is keeping you stuck
The real reason most people don’t finish their book
The identity shift that actually gets it done

56. The Lie That’s Keeping You From Becoming an Author
In this episode, we're unpacking one of the biggest beliefs I hear from women who want to write a book and what they ACTUALLY mean.
We’re talking about why that belief keeps so many women from claiming the author identity—and why your lived experience, voice, and perspective might be exactly what someone else needs. If you’ve been minimizing your story or waiting for it to feel more legitimate, this episode is your reminder: your story does not need to look a certain way to matter.
