Show notes

Welcome to another episode in my FRIENDSHIP STORIES series!

Can men and women be "just friends"? Kerith & Lee are here to answer that OF COURSE they can. Their unique friendship story starts with a surgery that results in hours-long phone marathons and a friendship that stretches across time and gender roles.

Ep 166: How To Write A Book (in 10 steps) Mar 21, 2023

Show notes

My second book The Life Council: 10 Friends Every Woman Needs comes out in just two weeks, and so I have writing on my mind.

PREORDER THE LIFE COUNCIL NOW

Becoming an author has been my life's biggest dream since I was in elementary school, but I was in my 40's and had been writing professionally for over a decade before it finally happened. And, truthfully, my first two books are not what I ever pictured myself writing!

I created this episode because I really wish someone had broken down the process of writing a book for me years ago. And because I think a lot of people want to write a book, but have no idea where to start.

Although the 10 steps I walk through here follow my own process of writing nonfiction, a lot of what I'm sharing here could apply to any sort of creative endeavor. I'm talking about preparation, mindset, rituals, and radical honesty.

How To Write A Book (in 10 Steps):

Be honest about the WHY (and if a book is the best format to tell your story)
Decide what you’re really trying to say
Outline, outline, outline
Give yourself a deadline
Find your rituals
Measure something
Write for yourself, rewrite for your audience
Use an editor and don’t take the edits personally
Let the book become what it’s supposed to be
Call it done

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

Ep 73: I wrote a book!

Ep 111: Behind the scenes of publishing, marketing, and launching a book

BONUS: FRIENDSHIP STORIES: Pen Pals. (Sarah's Story) Mar 10, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to another episode in my Friendship Stories series.

When I was young, I always dreamed of having a pen pal. It seemed like something straight out of a movie! Well wait until you hear Sarah's story...it really is like some magical fiction.

In the years before the internet connected us all, Sarah and her childhood pen pal exchanged hundreds of letters. But when they went to college, they naturally lost touch. A very serendipitous mutual aquaintance reconnected Sarah and her long lost letter writing friend and THEN....well, you just have to listen to find out.

I just loved this story of friendship evolving through pen and paper across the decades.

The Friendship Stories series came from the dozens of interviews I conducted while writing my new book The Life Council: 10 Friends Every Woman Needs.

Ep 162: 10 Ways To Handle Overwhelm Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

We all have seasons of overwhelm, whether it's a packed schedule, an insane To Do list, or events that require a lot of emotional processing. I've been navigating my own overwhelm in the last few months while juggling a larger-than-normal workload with travel and family obligations. So I sat down to make a list of the things that are helping me handle it.

Circumstances are often largely out of our control, but we can still find pockets of peace that keep us in the present and help us maintain a clear mind.

I made this episode for me, but I hope it helps you, too.
