The Courage to Begin
Description
📄Episode Summary:
We’re halfway through 2025 — so let me ask: Have you started your memoir yet?
In this episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at my own journey from hesitant political spouse to published memoirist and memoir mentor. If you've been sitting on your story, unsure whether to start, worried about what others will think, or just plain stuck — this is your invitation to begin.
You’ll hear:
* Why now is the perfect time to start writing your story
* What held me back from writing my memoir — and how I pushed through
* Two real-life stories of people inspired to write because of my work
* How just 10 minutes a day can lead to a 50,000-word manuscript
* Details about my upcoming free 5-day bootcamp, The Courage to Begin, starting June 16 — and why you don’t want to miss it
* A powerful mindset shift that could change how you see your story forever
Whether you’ve written zero pages or twenty, whether you’ve got a book in your head or just a lifetime of lived experience — this episode will help you take that brave first step.
