Jennifer Louden is a national bestselling author and writing coach who specializes in helping aspiring women writers claim their big ideas and put them into writing. In this episode, Jen helps us understand what makes a Big Idea “big” and how our ideas have to be shaped and honed with careful work and mining. Women especially often struggle to claim the fullness of their ideas. Jen is an expert in women’s empowerment and helping us all believe in our ideas while doing the necessary work to make them even better. In this conversation we also touch on platform and how to build an authentic community around your ideas.

JENNIFER LOUDEN wanted to be Harriet the Spy when she was eight, an enlightened master when she was twelve, and a brilliant comedy writer when she was twenty-two. She penned her bestseller, The Woman’s Comfort Book, after her first why bother time. She’s the author of seven additional books including The Woman’s Retreat Book and The Life Organizer. She has inspired millions of women through her books, her retreats and workshops, and her blog, but probably not her fashion sense and certainly not her cooking.
