The Author Burnout Cure

181. Other People's Expectations

“I don’t want to let anyone down.”

If you find yourself worried about disappointing people on your publishing team or falling short of their expectations, this podcast is for you. I’m breaking down why meeting expectations can feel so fraught in publishing, including what to do when those expectations are implied rather than explicitly laid out for you.

PS - I’m pressing pause on monthly workshops this quarter. You can access past workshop replays at http://www.isabelsterling.com/resources

The publishing industry is hard. That's why I created The Confident Author Academy. My 6-month coaching program (+ online course) helps you build the mindset & emotional resilience you need to thrive as an author.
