Back in June 2023, I interviewed matrescence expert Jessie Harrold on Bound + Determined, and she shared with raw vulnerability how hard it was to land her book deal. She talked about the timing, the road blocks, the shots in the dark she took, and what ultimately got her the publishing deal that is now launching Mothershift: Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage.
I still get emails several times a month from people who have stumbled upon that episode (#91) and are grateful for it. They tell me it was helpful to hear that for some people, this process is challenging and not what they’d imagined--that resilience and perseverance are necessary traits to bringing this dream to life.
So it felt right to bring Jessie back on the show, as she is weeks away from launching Mothershift, to hear what the rest of her process was like.

When it comes to writing a book, many authors dream about that big six-figure advance---they want that money, honey. And for good reason. You all work HARD. And while I want all my clients and readers to be paid their value and beyond, I find that when I speak to people about advance payments, there’s a lot they don’t yet understand. That’s why I’m breaking down The Basics of Book Advances on the Bound+Determined podcast this week. I encourage you to educate yourself NOW, so you know what to expect, AND you’ll know the secret to what I think is even more important than your book advance. It may surprise you!
