Do you ever feel like your writing has to be perfect before you can share it? You're not the only one. Many first-time authors get stuck revising the same sentences over and over. But here's the truth: your first draft isn't supposed to be perfect—it's supposed to get your ideas out of your head and onto the page. Writing a book is a journey. It will challenge you, grow your voice, and shape your message. The most important thing you can do is keep going, even when it feels messy. That's how you build something worth refining. You don't have to go it alone if you're feeling stuck. I've gathered a group of experienced professionals at Biz Book Pub Hub who can support you through every stage of the writing process.

“Probably doomed and perplexingly merry.” That's how Leif Enger describes one of the characters in his new novel, I Cheerfully Refuse. While the story brings words like dystopian and apocalyptic to mind, it bears witness to a deep sense of hope and even optimism. How and why? That's the topic of this episode of The Russell Moore Show featuring Enger.  Moore and Enger talk about what inspired I Cheerfully Refuse, including classic tales like The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. They talk about how Enger explores despair in fiction and the real world, the nuances of suicidal behavior, and how to combat the unbearable overwhelm caused by a 24-hour news cycle. They discuss Enger's writing process, how religion emerges in his life and books, and where the two differ in their understanding of evangelism. Tune in for a gracious, rich episode that turns our eyes toward the light that the darkness will not overcome.

Getting unexpectedly let go at work. Struggling through a painful divorce. Losing a loved one. Reluctantly riding a roller coaster of bad luck.These are some of the most common setbacks that life sometimes dishes out… whether we want them or not.

Not only is Amy a part of Ginni's vibrant neighborhood community in New York (#sunnysideup), but she's also an established author and a marketing pro. Her latest book, The Setback Cycle, shares real-life stories of people, including herself, who turned challenging obstacles into life-changing opportunities. You'll learn why setbacks are such a common experience shared by people from all walks of life, and how we tend to view them when we're in the thick of it. You'll hear stories of big setbacks and the bravery they birthed that led to profoundly positive life changes.

Today I'm kicking off a series of episodes on the Prosperous Empath® Podcast where I will dig into some commonalities that empaths and HSPs experience in entrepreneurship and leadership. In my years of working with empaths from all walks of life, I've noticed that we often share similar struggles and obstacles that we need to overcome to thrive and prosper. In this solo episode, I'm talking about the power of manifestation and the process of reconnecting with your dreams, desires, and creativity. To tell the truth, I have a love/hate relationship with the word “manifestation” - even though I have manifested many things in my life and business. If there's a logical part of you that resists the concept of manifestation, you'll resonate with this episode! I'm sharing nuggets of wisdom on how to become intentional with your thoughts and beliefs as well as my favorite manifestation practices to try.      Topics: What manifestation is (and isn't) and the idea that every result is the consequence of a previous thought and belief  Identifying self-abandonment and the vulnerable practice of reconnecting with your dreams and creativity 8 manifestation practices that helped Catherine open her heart, trust her intuition, and start dreaming big again  Reconnecting with your inner capacity for joy, finding your embodiment practice, and co-conspiring with the universe to create an aligned life  The power of “acting as if” and embracing your skepticism to get out of your comfort zone and connect with the longings of your heart      Episode Resources: Join us on May 13th at 12pm ET for our monthly Non-Networking Power Hour for Empath Entrepreneurs with our UNBOUNDED Community for deep connections and meaningful support.

In this enlightening episode of Saturn Returns, Caggie welcomes Julia Cameron, the visionary author of "The Artist's Way," for a deep dive into the realms of creativity, sobriety, and spiritual awakening. Julia shares her transformative journey from battling addiction to discovering a prolific path of artistic expression and inner peace. From Addiction to Inspiration: Julia opens up about her decision to embrace sobriety after a decade of struggling with alcohol. She explores the fears and myths surrounding creativity and addiction, reflecting on the insightful words of Dylan Thomas and how they've influenced her perspective on life and art. Divine Connection: Delving into the power of spirituality, Julia discusses how turning to a higher power revitalised her creative flow and helped combat her fears of creation. The conversation highlights the importance of humility in her work and its impact on her artistic process. Overcoming Creative Blocks: Julia and Caggie explore the daunting barriers to creativity, including inner child work, shame, fear, and rejection. Julia introduces the concept of the 'shadow artist' and the significance of recognizing and overcoming this state to fully embrace one's creative potential. Spiritual Chiropractic for Creativity: Discover Julia's transformative practices like Morning Pages and Artist Dates, designed to nurture the inner child and break through creative blocks. Julia emphasises the role of play in fostering creativity, arguing it's as crucial as work in the artistic journey. Confronting the Inner Critic: Humour plays a central role in Julia's methodology, particularly in dealing with the inner critic. She shares insights on naming and thus disempowering the inner critic, unlocking a freer, more expressive artistic self. Julia Cameron's journey is a testament to the transformative power of sobriety, spirituality, and self-exploration in unlocking the full spectrum of creativity. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for artists, writers, and anyone looking to tap into their creative potential and lead a more inspired life.

Happy New Year!! Gabrielle and I are right back into the swing of things and dive into a candid conversation about the ups and downs of being both actors and entrepreneurs. I just moved, and so it truly feels like such a fresh start. With each fresh start though, it's so important to set goals and stay on target so we touch on why goals are so tough, the challenges of navigating the acting industry, and why we all need to approach our headshots with a strategic focus. Gabrielle shares her method of manifestation while I get into my love of quarterly SMART goals. We also get honest about the privilege that our social media followings have awarded us, and how we are able to do so much because of the financial freedom that all of you listening in have given us.

Creativity is a skill that builds our influence, recognition, and changemaking capacity, and it's not just for the reasons you might think. Without creativity, we can't imagine our way out of the status quo. It's our ability to dream up a new kind of future that will spark the just transition that we're working towards.If you work on a problem you are deeply passionate about, it's your creativity along with the recognition you're building as a thought leader that can spark the ripple effect you're after. In this episode, I talk about how to work out your ‘creativity muscle' and keep it strong for your changemaking work as a coach, consultant, service provider, or nonprofit leader.

Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors! This week I have a solo episode for you where I talk all about overcoming overwhelm as an Indie Author. Some things I share are: ·       Why getting clear on your ‘Writing Why' and your values is essential for minimising overwhelm. ·       The power of Pareto's Law to direct us towards where to spend our time and energy, and what to let go of. ·       The magic question I ask myself every day to ensure I'm reaching my goals and ending the day feeling accomplished. ·       A little-known way to supercharge your affirmations, break habits, and put an end to overwhelm. ·       And why sometimes the thing you most need to do is nothing! If you've ever found yourself drowning in to-do lists, and overwhelmed and burnt out trying to do ALL the things, then this episode is for you!

“Whenever I'm about to do something, I think 'Would an idiot do that?' And if they would, I do not do that thing.” - Dwight Schrute, The Office In an age of cultural division and religious disagreement, many people feel that talking to someone with a different perspective on faith is, well, something an idiot would do. But today's episode of The Russell Moore Show tells a different story as Russell welcomes Rainn Wilson, best known for his iconic performance as Dwight Schrute, to the podcast.  Wilson is fascinated by spirituality. In fact, he's the co-founder of SoulPancake, which develops content rooted in human connection (remember Kid President?), and the author of the book Soul Boom.  Moore and Wilson's conversation covers pop culture depictions of religion, Wilson's upbringing in the Baháʼí Faith, and what it was like to skyrocket from relative obscurity to fame. They talk about trying to discuss religion in Hollywood, what transcendence means, and whether or not the longing for justice points to a judgment day. And they consider what it might look like to encourage today's young people to consider the role of faith in their lives.  Resources discussed during this episode include: SoulPancake Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution by Rainn Wilson The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron Pre-order Russell's new title, Losing Our Religion: An Altar Call for Evangelical America, here!

Are you a creative type that gets stuck on occasion? You may be a writer, an artist, a craftsperson, or even a chef. You may be an architect, engineer, or accountant. There are no limits to what can be considered creativity.Creativity can be abstract as well. I was thinking about this morning and wondering how this book can touch and inspire everyone listening. And I understood that we all have a creative spark within us. Otherwise, you wouldn't exist. And your creative spark may be or abstract. And what I mean by that is we all have some core strengths we came into this world with. And I discovered my top 5 superpowers from a Clifton Strengths test recently. My top 5 strengths are strategic, ideation, positivity, developer, and empath. These abstract ways of thinking or being are also very creative by nature.So please don't limit yourself by the name of the book I am sharing today as the innate power of the book is significant regardless.You may need something to light your fire and spark your creativity when you are stuck in a rut and feeling uninspired.I need help reigniting my passion for painting. When I came across this month's High Vibe Book Recommendation, I knew it could be an inspiration for many of us. I know I can't wait to get my hands on it! So this month's High Vibe Book recommendation is called: The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julie Cameron. And it's in its 30th Anniversary Edition, with over 4 million copies!?!This is something fascinating about books of higher consciousness. They have a very long shelf-life and sell millions of copies.I can't believe it never came across my awareness until I discovered it in my ConsciousnessCalibrations.com community.So, that's this month's Book for Raising Your Level of Consciousness and removing the blocks to your inner genius, whatever that may be.   Links I Mentioned:More about The Clifton Strengths Test: We've All Been Dealt a Hand in This Lifetime...Do You Know What Your Strong Suit Is?Two 2-minute Rules to Beat Procrastination (in 2 minutes on) YouTubeJulie Cameron's Books & Workbooks:The Artist's Way on AmazonThe Artist's Way Work BookThe Artist's Way Starter KitIt's Never Too Late to Begin AgainSupport the showIf you like what's going on here, you can join me on social media here: Facebook Instagram YouTube LinkedIn TheMindBodySpiritNetwork.com

Sarah and Emily take a deep dive into the world of judgment, belief, and change. In this episode, they talk about how your beliefs are formed, what has an impact on them, and what to consider and do to change your beliefs and achieve positive change.   Key Points In Episode: This episode of Inner Archeology is the second to last episode of the season because Sarah's going on maternity leave – but don't worry, the show will be back in a few months! Plus, you can get more exclusive content on the Inner Archeology Patreon page. Sarah feels that the desire to appear consistent is a core human desire. Want to be open to changing your beliefs? Then, you need to have conscious awareness of that, no doubt. Because yes, you CAN change your mind. Super interesting point by Emily: ‘if there's a belief about your identity, you'll automatically just reinforce that. Even if it's complete B.S., you'll double down just to preserve the sense of identity and familiarity.' Do you agree?  It's so empowering to bring your beliefs and to have conscious awareness of the fact that they can change – and you have the power to decide and change them. Glennon Doyle is someone who has had the guts to change her beliefs and to do so publicly. Look at her for inspiration. Many of the beliefs Sarah has changed are paired with judgments, ideas, or expectations she had. Before the beliefs could shift, those ideas and expectations had to change first. For most of her life, Sarah didn't want to have kids… and look at her now, about to become a mother! Sarah has stopped making 5-year plans because so much can change in a year (just look at the last couple of years). If you're trying to figure out what your beliefs are, make sure to make a distinction between beliefs that were just handed to you and those you have intentionally chosen to adopt. Emily shares that she had to earn the right to participate in her creative expression because it was a luxury, not something she necessarily deserved. #ChangedBelief Sarah had judgments toward pole dancing, thinking it wasn't a hard thing to do… turns out she was wrong. Ever felt like working out is punishment? Or that you work out because you don't like your body? Emily thought the same but, by her own admission, things couldn't be further from the truth.   Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Inner Archeology Email Sarah Turner on Instagram Emily Pennystone on Instagram @Inner.Archeology on Instagram InnerArcheology.com InnerArcheology.tv (video version) patreon.com/InnerArcheology Inner Archeology on YouTube Glennon Doyle The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron

Emily thought the same but, by her own admission, things couldn't be further from the truth.   Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Inner Archeology Email Sarah Turner on Instagram Emily Pennystone on Instagram @Inner.Archeology on Instagram InnerArcheology.com InnerArcheology.tv (video version) patreon.com/InnerArcheology Inner Archeology on YouTube Glennon Doyle The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron

Do you believe in magic? When we were kids, it was so easy—almost natural—for us to believe in magic. There was a certain charm to casting spells, making potions, or even wishing on a random star on a starry night. For many of us, as we grew older and we found ourselves in different unexpected directions, we started to let go of our belief in magic. Fortunately, our plants are the best bridge to reconnecting us with this magic, with ourselves, with our curiosity, and even with things yet to be known, and here's Rachael of Infinite Succulent to tell us more about plant magic.In this episode, we learn:[01:19] Have you been to the kindest and plantiest corner of the internet?[02:49] What this episode is about[06:29] Who is Rachael and what does she do?[07:44] Maria shares a heartwarming story about Rachael[09:11] Rachael's academic background, her professional journey, and how she ultimately became the nature connector she is today[16:09] How Rachael got started with energy work[18:18] What Rachael's new book is about[18:50] How does Rachael define magic?[21:36] On the divine timing and trusting the universe to take you where you need to go[24:32] Why has connecting with nature never been more important than today?[27:33] How can plants help us move energy more intentionally? [30:16] What do negative ions in plants do for our health?[31:41] Where to get the best seeds for your 2023 garden[32:36] How to combat the low humidity in your home[34:37] Why biophilia is becoming a necessity, especially in workplaces[36:40] On green witchcraft and connecting with nature through different ways[39:22] Why connecting with plants is an inherent trait and experience in all of us[43:33] On worshipping nature, religions, and finding spirituality in nature[46:25] Different ways to connect with plant magic[50:57] How do we know which plants have which energies?[53:12] On connecting with the moon and our emotions[57:36] Rachael's magical experience that resulted from her ritual on abundance[01:00:34] How plants teach us to be more open to new information and ideas[01:03:05] Maria's current definition of magic[01:04:33] Where to find Rachael and her book online[01:05:39] What is sacred reciprocity?

Assistant Principal Podcast Five for Friday TemplateHello colleagues and welcome to the Assistant Principal Podcast. I'm your host this week, Mara Buskey and if you don't already know me, I am the Inclusion Strategist with Strategic Leadership Consulting, as well as Frederick's daughter. The goal of this podcast is to help improve the life and leadership of assistant principals. Today's episode of Five for Friday recaps the strategic leadership emails for the week of October 24th-28th, 2022. If you already get our daily leadership emails, then I hope you'll find some added value here and if you don't already subscribe you can find a link on our homepage at frederickbuskey.com. Many readers like to begin their mornings by reading the email and setting a leadership intention for the day, but please don't feel any pressure to subscribe. You are already doing more to grow yourself than many others out there, simply by listening to the podcast.So let's recap. As you may know, Frederick (or my dad) has been with my mom in Kenya for the last two weeks so I had the opportunity to fill in for a week and write all the daily emails. I started off every email this week reminding our readers that these come from the perspective of me, a 23-year-old who is still very much working on her own leadership. I also ask them: What can you learn about empowering young people after reading this week's messages? Monday: On Monday I wrote about my experience with Julia Cameron's 12-week course, The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity. The MVP to this was “Five minutes can alter the direction of your day.” The book really changed the ways in which I talk to myself and helped engrain some positive habits. One of those habits is morning pages. Essentially, before doing anything else after waking up (except making coffee of course) you write three pages. You can write whatever you want, but the idea is to get all of your thoughts and worries out of your head so you can be less disrupted by them later. I challenged our readers for the remainder of the week to try writing morning pages. If 3 pages sounds scary, set your timer for five minutes. Write what you are feeling, what you're dreading, or maybe what you need to do that day. Get out all your worries or thoughts that take up your space and energy. And after you do it, ask yourself if you feel any different? Is your mind quieter? Is your jaw less clenched or your breathing a little deeper?Though I know writing down your stressors or spiraling thoughts first thing in the morning won't make them disappear, spending any amount of time with them means they exist somewhere other than inside your mind. Maybe they are a little less powerful now. TuesdayTuesday was all about saying “yes” to what's right inside you. Have you ever recognized how you were feeling and intellectualized it or explained away the emotions? Have you ever said to yourself, “I shouldn't feel this way because …”?When we dismiss our feelings, we invalidate ourselves. We lie to ourselves and we send the message that our emotions aren't important. Rather than dismissing or making excuses, just say “yes.” Say yes to the anger, the sadness, the overwhelm, guilt and grief, to fatigue, to resentment… Say yes to joy, to love, to gratitude and pride. Say yes to not wanting to feel it. Say yes to feeling uncomfortable.Acceptance is harder than we give credit for. Accepting your feelings is accepting yourself. Accepting yourself leads to a better and truer you. And a better you means you can support and lead your people with empathy and honesty. WednesdayOkay, to slightly lighten things up, Wednesday I wrote about a joke I initially made.  I was having a hard time and I said to my partner, “nothing's wrong but it sure ain't right.” I laughed and then sat for a second and realized how true that statement felt. Startup company: Great vision that could make real change in our communities… but it just doesn't feel right.  Gave myself 6 months So what do I do? I'm trusting myself. I'm diving inward, reflecting on what I'm feeling, and trusting those emotions and feelings.  When you notice something is off, do you ignore it or trust your intuition? Thursday I talk about the stories we tell ourselves. Oftentimes, the stories are how we think things “should be.”For example: The last few months I've been talking quite negatively to myself because I didn't go to grad school right away. My thought process is that Because I haven't gone to graduate school yet, I'm lazy. Laziness is wrong. I'm wrong. The truth is, going to grad school doesn't dictate if I'm wrong, lazy, or ultimately worthy. But the other truth to this is if I didn't address these stories or take time to notice they are even there, how will I know they aren't true?What are the stories you tell yourself? Do they actually help you? Just because you think or feel something doesn't mean it's true. Friday I discussed my desire for 6 months now to bake a cake after moving to Greensboro, NC in May. But until last week, I still had yet to bake anything. Long story short, I was telling myself there wasn't enough time, and that baking a cake wasn't as important as all the other things on my to do list. When I dug a little deeper, I realized that it wasn't necessarily the baking that I was so caught up on, it was what it represented: time, balance, abundance, success.I decided enough was enough. I was going to bake something. I made some pumpkin spice muffins and I shared them with my friends. It made me so happy that I did it again the next day. I realized it really didn't take that much time and it brought me so much joy. It turned my week around.  This weekend, I urge you to forget the to-do list for just a moment. Think about something small that you've been wanting to do but convinced yourself there is not enough time. Go do it. TakeawayI think the big takeaway to all of these is to listen to yourself and trust yourself. There is so much happening in the world, and I think my generation, or at least a lot of the young people I talk to, are questioning the world, themselves, and our priorities. We aren't finding value and purpose in living that “American dream” that we have been fed our whole lives. I think we've also realized over the last few years that if we aren't taking care of ourselves, we can't take care of others. I don't know. Maybe all generations have thought this way. Let me know how you feel, you can find my email in the show notes. This wraps up this week's Five for Friday rendition of The Assistant Principal Podcast.

I'm sitting in the audience after a special screening of Lin-Manuel Miranda's incredible new musical drama, tick, tick… BOOM! about Jonathan Larson's tragically short but dynamic life. It's time for the Q&A session and the star of the movie, actor Andrew Garfield, takes the stage. When he starts talking I quickly discover two things: First, that he's British (who knew?!?) and second, that prior to shooting this movie, he was not a trained singer (yet his vocal range is incredible in this film). As the Q&A goes on, I learn so much more about him and this film through his stories and perspective of the movie itself. It becomes a meta “story within a story” experience, with Garfield's conversation showcasing Larson's narrative on film. It's a seemingly unplanned and unrehearsed example of a complex story popping up in an unexpected and delightful real-life situation. My special guest this week, Jena Ellenwood, also uses storytelling in an equally surprising way. In this episode, she reveals the biggest misconception about her industry, why she moved from behind the bar to the virtual classroom, and how she utilized storytelling to win international cocktail competitions. We also discuss using stories as history lessons, seeing stories as reasons to care about what you do, and the value of being an educated consumer. What you will learn in this episode: How to use stories to educate others about your industry Why your family most likely has ties to the spirits world How stories can work so well in competitions Who is Jena? Located in Astoria, New York, Jena Ellenwood is recognized worldwide as an award-winning bartender, cocktail educator, and writer. For over a decade, she's excelled at crafting unique cocktails for all occasions.
