Listen Later

Have you ever wanted or needed to change your life and wondered how to do it? Well, this interview may be for you. 

On this episode, I'm excited to share my conversation with Elisabeth Sharp McKetta. Author of 13 books, Liz teaches writing for Harvard and Oxford and is the founder of the Book Year Writer's Circle.

McKetta's latest book is entitled Edit your Life: A Handbook for Living with Intention in a Messy World.   Elisabeth knows about what she writes. During our interview, she shares the story of her own major life edit.

You can find out more information about Liz, on her website.  

Key Takeaways:

  1. Intentional Living: Elisabeth emphasizes the importance of living with intentionality. Much like editing in writing clarifies and refines, intentional living helps us clarify our priorities and align our actions accordingly.
  2. The Power of Editing: Drawing from her background as a writer and teacher, Elisabeth discusses how editing principles can be applied to life. 
  3. Elisabeth's Journey: Elisabeth shares her personal journey of undergoing a significant life edit. This experience forms the core of her insights into navigating change and making intentional choices.
  4. Her book, Edit Your Life: A Handbook for Living with Intention in a Messy World.  The framework is examine, edit and enjoy.
