The key to finishing a book? Start with a plan.

Hi Reader, Starting any project with a plan is crucial. Imagine building a house without a blueprint…bringing in a pile of lumber and nailing pieces together willy-nilly…starting without a foundation…and no schedule to tell you if the roof will be on before the rains come. Doesn’t sound very successful, does it? While you don’t have to worry about getting rained on when you write a book, slapping words on a page without an end goal in mind, being confused about your book’s purpose, or no way to organize what you've written will result in a book that’s about as solid as that house built without plans. A plan can make or break your book-writing process. Without that direction, it’s easy to get stuck, overwhelmed, or lose steam altogether. That’s why my upcoming workshop includes my proven Book Project Plan Template—a format that helps you:
To get you started, I’m sharing a free video guide for #2 above. 👇Watch the video ‘How to Outline a Book in ?

Hi Reader, Look at this little plant... It doesn't know it's rooted in only a few cups of soil. It doesn't care that it started from a tiny sprig my neighbor was going to throw away. It stretched, first to the left, then to the right, then to wherever it could. Now it's spreading across my dining room ceiling, dangling from whatever it can find without a care in the world. If I forget all the things I've been told that limit me and my growth, maybe I can be like that plant. Have a great...
Hi Reader, I am yearning, longing, desiring, despairing, declaring, and desperate. Not in a clingy, help-me-someone way. I am desperate to feel whole. I ache to get away from my desk, the news, the endless cycle of cooking food and shitting it out, the dust, sitting behind the wheel. I hunger to connect with my soul’s purpose, to feel my power, to see my dreams reflected in the faces around me. I long for the forest, being in circle, moving, dancing, singing, crying, laughing, and eating...
Hi Reader, I was a guest on a podcast last week. I’m being interviewed on a number of them in the next coming months (I’ll be sure to post them here when they air) and I love, love, love getting to talk about doulas and the tremendous impact they make in people’s lives, whether during birth, death, divorce, cancer, gender transition, dementia, surgery, pet loss, or any challenging life situation. My favorite question I was asked? What’s the difference between a doula and a coach? ❓ It’s such...
