Also, this podcast is a must-listen for anyone looking to escape the endless cycle of monotony, overcome self-doubt, and embrace a life of sparkle and grit.
Wendy shares her top three tech tools that played a pivotal role in creating her transformative book, "Sparkle and Grit." She explains how the technology she employed in writing differed from her legal work. Furthermore, we discuss the mysteries behind maintaining motivation and staying on track during the challenging writing and publishing journey. During the conversation, Wendy's passion and authenticity shine through as she empowers listeners to start their journeys toward a balanced and vibrant life.
