Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors!

Are you roadworthy as an author? Are you set up to go the distance with your author career?

In this week’s solo episode, I reflect on changes I need to make in all areas of my life to set myself up for a sustainable, joyful author career. I share the questions I’ve been asking myself around procrastination, my health, and emotional and mental baggage, and I discuss how some small everyday stressors might be sabotaging your success.

If you’re ready to take inventory of where you’re at and where you might be holding yourself back on your author journey, then this is the episode for you. My hope is it inspires you to take action on the small, but important, things you’ve been avoiding, let go of the things you no longer need, and plan for a future of joy and ease.
