Failure Isn't Doom, It's Data

Hey there,

Being an author isn’t easy—and no, it doesn’t magically get easier with your 5th or 15th book. In this episode, I get honest about my own struggles and why failure doesn’t mean you’re done—it means you’re learning and growing.

Includes:

* How to process feelings without getting stuck

* Why every author faces struggles—yes, even the pros

* The true value of kind, slightly brutal author friends

Tune in and remind yourself: your writing journey is worth it.
