Welcome back to the Messy Success Podcast! If you’ve ever dreamed of writing and publishing a book—but felt overwhelmed by the process—this episode is exactly what you need. I’m sitting down with my dear friend and mentor, Sharon Hundley, a photographer, podcaster, and now published author of Sunny Bird’s Special Nest.   Sharon shares how she went from idea to launch, why she didn’t follow conventional book marketing strategies, and how she embraced a heart-centered approach instead. We talk about overcoming fear, the realities of self-publishing, and the unexpected emotional weight of launching a creative project into the world.   If you’ve ever felt held back by perfectionism, fear, or imposter syndrome, this conversation will give you the push to go for it—no matter where you are in your creative journey.
