If you've been thinking about writing a book, let's demystify the process. This episode shines a light on a few of the things that can make it a little less scary so you can actually write your book. Candice L. Davis is the book coach behind my first published book, Artpreneur. We're diving in and sharing many of the moments I've experienced becoming a published author and what Candice has seen many authors struggle with. It's hard to take the first step when you think you're the only one struggling with certain things. It's easier when you see what's possible in spite of your perceived challenges and learn there's support and a way around the real and perceived challenges of writing your first book. “You can become a great writer; these are just skills. It's a set of skills that you can develop” - Candice L. Davis Things that will encourage you to write your book: The challenges holding you back are common to many first-time writers Writing a book for a publisher is a different kind of pressure, but it's also rewarding Releasing a published book is a team effort not a solo sport, get the help you need early Writing a book takes much longer than I had anticipated, and it was a completely different experience than I believed it would be. Releasing a published book is truly like a birthing process, with pain and moments of frustration, but thankfully you get a whole team supporting the birth of your book if you take the traditional publishing route. The process and experience is so worth it in the end. I wish it for all of you wanting to share your message. “Whatever you're creating, find a way to do it from a place of joy and desire.” - Candice L. Davis Connect with Candice Davis: Website Podcast For full show notes go to schulmanart.com/236 ++++++++++++++++++++

In honor of Mother's Day and in the spirit of embracing motherhood (however you experience it), this year I'm bringing together 6 incredible women to share how motherhood has influenced their creativity, tips they have for encouraging creativity in their own kids, and ways to balance your creative career with motherhood. Jen Lehner, founder of Front Row CEO and Front Row VIP Masterclass shares her lessons on being more present with her kids. Working from home, though physically present, can still create distance and disconnect. Her advice is to build a supportive team that creates the space you need to enjoy a work life balance. Join Jen's waitlist for Front Row CEO Allison Lane is an editor and marketing strategist that will get your book published and marketed with her company, Allison Lane Literary. Her thoughts around influencing creativity in your children are about encouraging your kids. She has found success balancing motherhood with 1-2 hour time chunks. Candace L Davis is helping entrepreneurs navigate the publishing process and so much more in her business and with her podcast, Nothing But The Words. Candace's lesson from motherhood that encourages creative thoughts is boredom. Being bored as a child and allowing her children to be bored became the best way to encourage creativity. “Making space for my children's creativity has simply meant making space for my kids' souls” - Patty Lennon Patty Lennon, from the Space for Magic Podcast, beautifully shares that, “creativity at its best is something we feel as much as something we do.” Having children with completely different creative expressions, Patty reminds us of why honoring children's unique creativity and teaching them to admire the creative process is necessary for future artists. Whitney McNeill, the founder of the Messenger of Spirit, shares how to connect with your spirit guides and connect with your intuition. She reminds us to be mindful of our energy, and that perfectionism isn't realistic just because that's what society dictates to women and mothers. Whitney is a beautiful reminder to give yourself grace. Shaun Roney, ADHD coach and founder of Revealed Path Life Coaching expresses why modeled behaviors and skills are the best for your children. Shaun's leading advice is to get your family involved in your creative businesses and honor the components needed to allow more creativity. “The thing about creativity is it has to have freedom to be whatever it's going to be. Someone can't force you into being creative. They can't teach you how to be creative. They have to allow creativity to happen.” -Shaun Roney Check out Miriam Schulman's Artist Incubator Program Also, check out Miriam's free Painting Portrait's Masterclass Additional Episodes Mentioned: The Art of Receiving Episode 60 Space for Magic Episode 165 Hire Your First VA with Jen Lehner Episode 75 For full show notes, go to schulmanart.com/191 ++++++++++++++++++++
