👋 The Privilege of Leaving Social Media — Being a Working Writer & Valuing Art with River Selby

“My constant longing to be without social media is actually a longing to be in deeper connection with the world.” River Selby was born in Los Angeles and grew up in the Pacific Northwest. They worked as a wildland firefighter for seven years, and their debut memoir, Hotshot: A Life of Fire, was published in 2025 by Grove Atlantic. Today, River joins me to talk about the realities of being an author from a working class, no-safety-net background — and how that has shaped their relationship to social media. Together, we explore: The gifts (and perils) of refusing to niche downHow to quit performing & projecting on social mediaWhat to do when compare & despair becomes unavoidableHow financial insecurity might impact your social media optionsWhy many authors have to hire publicists (but we couldn’t afford to)Ways social media impacts your financial well-beingWhy we have to stop commodifying books RESOURCES + LINKS👋 Download the FREE Leaving Social Media Toolkit🌐 Get on the Interweb waitlist for courses + community💓 Join the Clubhouse for more episodes + emails📔 Buy Amelia's book at yourattentionissacred.com!

😎 4 Fiction Recs for Your Neurodivergent Awakening — with Bailey Lang

OMG we've got our first guest — Bailey Lang of The Writing Desk! Bailey is a late-diagnosed neurodivergent writer, editor, and coach. Through her company, The Writing Desk, she helps businesses and authors tell stories that matter. Bailey has been an avid reader for as long as she can remember, and her favorite thing to do is talk about books and writing. Bailey reached out to me at the end of last year, asking if we could do an episode together. She proposed that she could share a list of fiction reads with great neurodivergent representation… and I said YES PLEASE! So in this episode, we’ll hear from Bailey as she shares a few of her fave books with implicit and explicit representation of autistic or neurodivergent characters. We love to see/hear it! 😎 Bailey’s Book Recs: The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang Cassandra in Reverse by Holly Smale All Systems Red by Martha Wells “Vaster Than Empires and More Slow” by Ursula K. Le Guin PLUS!

😊 How Your Business Can (& Can’t) Make You Happy — $300k+ Launches with Sam Vander Wielen

I’m not a fan of the #girlboss. But I am a fan of women who build wildly successful businesses. And I especially appreciate when they offer eyes-open advice about what it really took to get there. Today on the show, I’m joined by Sam Vander Wielen, a lawyer-turned-entrepreneur who’s built a multi-seven-figure online business through consistently $100k+ funnels and launches. While income claims like that typically make me roll my eyes… Sam is such an smart, honest, and candid business owner that I just had to ask her a million questions about how her business really works. So if you’ve ever wanted a values-aligned look into a seven-figure business, you’ll definitely want to tune in. We talk about: The relationship between trauma and high-achievementHow social media helped Sam grow her businessClarifying the stages of awareness in your marketingClearing fear around the legal aspects of small businessHow Sam handles hate mail and mean messagesThe realities of Sam’s $300k+ launchesWhy you need a copy of Sam’s new book RESOURCES + LINKS👋 Download the FREE Leaving Social Media Toolkit🌐 Join the Interweb for courses + community🌸 Peep the Clubhouse for bonus episodes + emails FREE GIFTS OF THE WEEK ❊ Creative Containers video series from Catherine LaSota ❊ We Are a Murmuration from Adrienne Sloan — call (505) 557-2445 for a free listening practice! ❊ The Art of Listening from Ruthie Farfel ❊ More free resources from Close Biz Friends!

🎸 If Indie Sleaze Was 3 Novels… By Women!

This one goes out to all my cooler-than-thou millennials tuning in — because this week I’m sharing books set in the indie sleaze scene! If you’re not familiar with indie sleaze, think skinny jeans, sweaty clubs, early aughts attitude and bands like The Strokes, LCD Soundsystem, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.The scene was dominate by boys-in-bands, but in my personal (admittedly nostalgic) experience the music venues were full of women! So I wanted to find books by all the girls in the crowds like me, who loved this music but maybe weren’t well-represented there.Tune in for three books that are also playlists. I hope you enjoy! 🎸Indie Sleaze Reads I Recommend: 06:15 — Lo Fi by Liz Riggs + the playlist 13:15 — Deep Cuts by Holly Brickley + the playlist 19:00 — I Love You So Much It’s Killing Us Both by Mariah Stovall + the playlist And if you love this episode, you might also love the documentary Meet Me in the Bathroom!
