The Book Coach Chronicles is a podcast for creatives & creative entrepreneurs who are ready to write their best book. This year. No more writer's block. No more burnout. No more imposter syndrome. And no more confusion. It's time to finally find some balance in your life, writing, and author business so you can get back to enjoying the things you love… and even the things you don’t, but have to do anyway. Unlike other writing podcasts, we look at life holistically—because if you're stressed at home, you're stressed while writing, too. Everything's connected and everything matters. And most importantly, everything has a story. Fiction, nonfiction, or that grey space in between—it all has a story, and when you learn to tell your own story, and be your own Heroine, you write better Heroines and you become better at turning your readers into Heroines, too.
