In this episode of Parks & Russ, Elle Russ and Cassie Parks explore why more than 80% of people feel they "have a book in them" - yet very few ever finish one.

They dive into the psychology of storytelling, the confidence required to put your ideas into the world, and the evolutionary roots behind humans wanting to leave something meaningful behind. They also unpack writing books using AI, why generating words is not the same as having something real to say, and why authenticity, lived experience, and conviction matter more than ever in a world flooded with content.

A funny, insightful conversation about creativity, fear of visibility, finishing what you start, and the difference between wanting the identity of "author" versus actually becoming one.
