In this episode, I open up about the power of taking risks in writing and why it’s essential for creating meaningful, lasting impact. A recent conversation with my mom inspired me to reflect on the importance of sharing personal and political perspectives—even when it feels scary or uncomfortable.

I explore two big reasons why stepping outside your comfort zone can transform your writing. Taking a clear stance in your writing isn’t about stirring up controversy—it’s about being true to yourself and inspiring change. Whether it’s framing your work through your values or sharing what’s at stake for you personally, I hope this episode encourages you to embrace courage in your writing.
