Social media algorithms got you down? Tired of spending hours on a post that doesn’t get any traction? Well, this episode is for you, my friend.
We’ve given the algorithm way too much power over our emotional lives. It’s time we took that power back. Come for the fiery rant; stay for the tactical advice.

Do you brace for bad news? Do you send off a revision only to find yourself anxious, worried, and at least half-convinced that your editor will tell you the entire book is broken? So many of us fall into this trap, thinking that it will save us from feeling terrible when we get the “inevitable” bad news. Except … it’s way less effective than you’ve been led to believe. In today’s episode, I explain exactly why bracing for bad news doesn’t help your career.

The more successful you get as an author, the harder it is to find an emotionally supportive community. People assume that confidence comes from success. That your problems are easier to handle than theirs since at least you have a book deal.
So, what do you do when you’re stressed or overwhelmed and people tell you to suck it up and be grateful? I’m glad you asked. In this episode, I explain why this phenomenon happens in author groups and how to get the support you deserve.

I rarely do this, but I have a non-fic book recommendation for y’all this week. I’ve been reading The Gap & The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy, and I am OBSESSED. Their work is so in line with what I teach about “there” not being better than “here” and the Greener Effect. Listen in to hear me geek out and stay to collect some fabulous journaling prompts.
