    56. The Lie That’s Keeping You From Becoming an Author

    53. How to Rewrite Your Life Without Burning It Down: The Goldie Effect with Michelle Hooey

    What does it take to write and publish your first book? In this episode, I’m joined by Michelle Hooey — the first published author from Book Baddies Mastermind — to talk about launching her debut memoir, The Goldie Effect. After her daughter Goldie’s birth led to a medically complex diagnosis, Michelle was forced into a season of uncertainty, resilience, and radical trust. That experience became both a memoir and a method: The 15-Minute Rewrite™, her framework for finding clarity and regulation without starting your life over. If you’ve been sitting on a book idea, this episode will show you what’s possible when you stop waiting and start writing.

    51. F**k Fear On My Bed With Me

    Fear gets loud when you leave your comfort zone. With my new book, F*ck Fear, releasing in a week, fear has been having opinions. In this episode, I’m sharing what’s actually been coming up for me lately—from moving back to my hometown and wondering if I’ll fit in culturally or politically… to the full spiral around my new book. What if it’s trash? What if no one cares? What if people get tired of me? What if it’s not a bestseller? What if I just… don’t publish it? I also read an excerpt from F*ck Fear breaking down the most common deep-rooted fears—how they sound, how they disguise themselves, and why they get louder right before expansion.
