    The Lesson I Kept Ignoring

    This week my body stopped me in my tracks. A massive hip and nerve flare-up that had me barely able to walk, leaning on my partner, leaning on my family, completely surrendered. And in that stillness, something cracked open. This episode is what came through. I share what's been happening physically, a flare-up bigger than anything I've experienced before, and why I don't think it's a coincidence. Our bodies are so smart. They will find a way to get our attention when we've been ignoring every other sign. I get honest about what I think my body has been trying to tell me. That I've been tapping in and out. Doing things for everyone else. Playing small in the exact areas where I have the biggest vision. And then I go there. The fear. The stepping in, stepping out, stepping in, stepping out. The moment I see no results and I pull myself back into hiding. I've been waiting for someone to approve me before I fully show up, and this pain portal brought me face to face with that. The lesson that came through is the one I'm taking with me from here: I give myself the approval. I stop waiting. I put out my art, my words, my magic, and I trust that the people who need it are already there, even if they never hit like. Your body knows. When it forces you to stop, stop and listen. Playing small isn't safe. It costs you more than being seen ever will. The results are not in the likes or the comments. You don't know who your words are reaching or what they're changing. You don't need permission. Give yourself the approval and move. "I just wanna create art. I wanna be in my magic. And not be sitting there waiting for somebody to approve it." Where are you playing small right now? Where do you already know what you want but you keep stepping back every time it gets scary? Sit with that this week. That's where your next move lives.

    When the Words Won't Come

    I haven't written in my fiction book for over a month. And honestly? I'm not spiralling about it anymore. In this episode I'm sharing what I've been doing instead, and why I think it might be the most important thing I could do for my writing right now. I get real about the slump and why this time feels different. Old me would have been forcing it, panicking, making it mean something. This time I stepped back and got curious instead. I tell the full story of how a true crime show sent me down a Facebook Marketplace rabbit hole and into a stranger's house to find the most beautiful yellow vintage typewriter. It became something deeper than I expected, a return to the kind of writing I started with as a teenager, when putting words down on a page genuinely saved my life. I also share how I finally caved and bought the iPad I've been eyeing for years, and how jumping into Procreate and digital art has reignited something in me I didn't realise had gone a little quiet. The big message underneath all of it is this: if your book isn't flowing, go make something else. Anything else. Let your creativity breathe in a different direction and watch what happens when you come back. Key Takeaways Stepping away isn't giving up. Sometimes it's exactly what the work needs. Creativity feeds creativity, whatever form it takes. The path back to your book might run through a paintbrush, a colouring book, or a typewriter with no backspace. "If you're feeling really blocked, try something new. Get your creativity online in some other form, and that will open the floodgates." What's one creative thing you could do this week that has nothing to do with your manuscript? Do that. Notice what shifts.

    What If Your Power Was Never Outside You

    What if the power you’ve been chasing was never outside you? We dive into the I Am frequency and dismantle the myth that your worth must be proven with grades, titles, or five-star reviews. From the first line to the last, we challenge the habit of asking for permission and invite you to create from desire, not doubt. We share how to make from energy rather than from fear: speaking before you over-edit, writing before you over-study, acting before you crowdsource your confidence. Through vivid stories of authors who weathered rejection and musicians who kept releasing tracks until one finally caught fire, we reframe no as information rather than identity. The moment you stop tying your value to outcomes, your creative artery unclamps, momentum returns, and your work starts to resonate on its own terms. You’ll learn practical ways to anchor this stance: quick centring rituals before you create, release practices after you ship, and a clean boundary between metrics and self-worth. We talk about uniqueness as a living signature—your cadence, story, and synthesis and why audiences feel authenticity more than polish. Whether you’re an author, coach, founder, or artist, this is a call to move now, to publish the page, record the clip, pitch the idea, and trust the spark that brought you here. If this conversation moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs the nudge, and leave a review so more people can find it.  Where stories come alive.  Publishing - www.thedaringpress.com  Bookshop - www.thedaringbookshop.com  Writing -  https://www.instagram.com/jennallittle/  https://www.instagram.com/jennadaringauthor/
