Writing a book is a daunting task, often exacerbated by our own negative thoughts and beliefs. But what if changing the way you think about writing is the key to getting unstuck? 

In today’s episode, I give four mindset shifts that can help you break through writer’s block. These simple but transformative mental reframes can turn a deeply stressful process into a more fulfilling, creative journey. So tune in to discover how changing your thoughts can help you reignite your passion for writing and help  build a world you want to inhabit.

Also, in this episode I announce my new one-on-one coaching program, the Career Reset, designed specifically for overwhelmed academics.

Whether you’re looking to re-energize your academic career or contemplating a significant change, this program offers the guidance and support you need.
