151: Self-Publishing Workshop, Part 1: So You Want to Self-Publish Your Memoir
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. Ready? Let’s dive in.

150: 5 Ways You’re Making Your Writing Life Harder
This episode is for the writer whose writing life feels hard. You know the feeling: you know you should be writing, but you don’t. Or you sit down to write but every word that comes out feels like garbage. Maybe you’ve spent so much time reading writing books, browsing Facebook writing groups, and enrolling in online courses that you’ve convinced yourself that those efforts are moving your memoir draft forward, yet the word count remains stalled. 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. Let’s get into it.

149: Do You Live a Creative Life?
This episode is for the writer who thinks that they have writer’s block. What else could it be? 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. What I want to say to you today is that writer’s block isn’t your problem: your creative rhythm is. Let’s get started.
