If you’re anything like me, you’ve daydreamed about writing a bestselling book.

You imagine expanding your impact, getting your ideas into more hands, and maybe even spotting your name on a hardcover at your local bookstore. (Swoon.)

So… why haven’t we done it yet?

If you’re stuck, it’s probably because of one of these mindset blocks:

⌛ “It’ll take too much time—and I’m already overwhelmed.”

😓 “I’m not smart enough to write a good book.”

📚 “Everything I want to say has already been said.”

Sound familiar? Then you’re going to love this episode of Deeply Rested with Dr. Cindy Childress, The Expert’s Ghostwriter®.

Cindy is a book coach for entrepreneurs who want to make money and an impact—and she’s refreshingly honest about what it really takes to write a book without burning out.

In this conversation, Cindy shares how to:

✅ Avoid burnout with a systematic writing process

✅ Get past perfectionism and write that messy first draft

✅ Choose the right genre to keep imposter syndrome at bay

✅ Simplify the publishing process so your book actually gets into readers’ hands

We also dig into how much money authors actually make—and brainstorm tons of creative ways you can leverage your book to grow your business and visibility.

If writing a book is on your heart, this is the pep talk (and practical advice) you need.
