Ep 8: How Publishing My Books Helped Me Claim My Writer Identity


Listen Later

Want to feel like a “real” writer? Here’s what worked for me.

In this episode, I’m diving into how publishing my books—on my own terms—helped me finally claim my writer identity. I share why self-publishing felt like the right fit, the confidence that came from reader feedback, and how this journey gave me the courage to build a coaching business, too.

You’ll hear:

  • Why I chose self-publishing (and how it empowered me)

  • How publishing multiple books helped me believe in myself

  • Why claiming your identity is just as powerful as hitting “publish”
