You don’t need more hours. You need your time to finally work for you.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Lissa Figgins, a scaling strategist for busy Christian women business owners, to talk about the lie most writers are quietly carrying: “I don’t have time right now.”

We get honest about what’s actually happening when writing keeps getting pushed back—even when you’re already productive, capable, and serious about finishing. Lissa breaks down why “time management” keeps failing high-achieving women and why time stewardship changes everything.

This conversation is for the writer who’s already doing a lot… but knows her book should be further along by now.

We talk about:

• Why being busy isn’t the real problem

• How to stop letting distractions decide when you write

• What it looks like to create a realistic, distraction-proof writing plan

• How to write consistently without waiting for a perfect schedule

If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll focus on your book after things slow down—this episode is your interruption.

When self doubt shows up, most writers treat it like a stop sign. If you’re already writing but still feel that quiet second-guessing creep in, this conversation is going to help you see doubt for what it actually is: a signal that you’re leveling up, not falling behind. This one’s honest, grounded, and meant to remind you that you’re not “struggling”… you’re growing. And you’re closer to finishing than you think.

Let’s talk about what no one wants to admit during the holidays: it’s not the calendar that’s the problem—it’s the old writing habits that stop working when life gets full. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why waiting for things to "calm down" keeps delaying your draft and what to do instead.

You don’t need 3 quiet hours and a peppermint latte. You need a habit you can turn on like a switch—especially when things get busy. I'll show you how to write during the holidays without daily writing, long sessions, or disappearing from your life.

This episode is for the writer who’s ready to start the new year already in motion—not trying to restart again.
