In a treehouse in Mill Valley, California, Melissa Methven and I dove into an intense five-day journey, creating her book. This wasn't just about writing; it was a deep dive into overcoming the silence around suicide and finding strength in vulnerability.

This book is more than words on paper; it's a call to action against the silence that often surrounds mental health and suicide. Melissa's courage to share her journey offers a path for others to find their voice and healing.

In this very real but also honest conversation with Joshua Pellicer on the I Was Born to Do This podcast, I opened up about the seismic shifts happening in our world, especially around AI, and the urgent need for authors to ink their wisdom now, more than ever. With the landscape of content creation rapidly morphing, Joshua mentioned the pivotal moment we're in. AI's ascendancy means our window to establish our voice, our expertise, through the written word, is narrowing. In the next couple of years, how we're perceived as thought leaders hinges on our ability to share our unique insights and stories. AI, while a tool of incredible potential, ushers in a future where the value of authorship could diminish, making it paramount for us to act swiftly. This isn't just about racing against the tide of technology but seizing the opportunity to embed our perspectives in a world that's increasingly looking to AI for guidance. Joshua's message is a call to action: Write that book, share your truth, and do it now, because soon, the rules of the game might just change.
Key moments:
8:00 My process of writing a book
20:10 Common misconception with AI
23:22 How to properly work with AI
40:40 A message to authors about AI

I was deeply moved by Brianna Rashae's painful journey in this episode. Despite being the second youngest author at JOA, her book 'Holy Shift: My Path from Hurting to Healing' is a testament to a life experience that surpasses her years.
Brianna shares her powerful story, taking us on her journey from facing profound darkness to discovering a fresh perspective brimming with hope, healing, and a deep love for life.
Her path was marked by enduring nine years of abuse from a close family member, leading her to a dark place of self-harm and thoughts of suicide. She thought she'd left these struggles behind, only to find herself unexpectedly entangled when she became a mother, and post-traumatic stress brought it all back again, intensifying her challenges.
The turning point in her life came when she made the courageous choice to seek help.
This decision led her to "The Bridge," a three-week mental health retreat that completely transformed her outlook on life.
You don’t want to miss this remarkable story of taking your power back.
Here is what you will find in this inspiring episode:
03:55 Brianna's life-altering experiences.
06:20 The Bridge: The turning point towards healing.
09:36 Facing pain honestly for deeper healing.
