How Women Write

In a world where more creative business owners are turning to generative AI to write for them, authentic, heartfelt, and true stories are even more valuable. We need YOU!

Instead of co-creating with AI, I invite you to tune back into your God-given, unique voice.

We're also not meant to write and create alone in a vacuum. We need others. So, the next time you're compelled to ask your custom-coded ChatGPT to write your next email for you, step away from the computer, get quiet, and trust that you already have everything you need to write (you do!)

If you've been using AI to write for or with you, try taking a break to flex your writing muscles again—use it or lose it! It might be uncomfortable at first, but trust me, we want to hear from you, not your trained robot.

💫 5 Key Takeaways:

• Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are creating soulless and flat content.

• Gen AI can't replace your God-given connection to the Divine, authentic voice, experience, and unique stories.

• Training AI to reflect your voice only captures a sliver of a moment in time—you'd be missing out on capturing your ongoing growth and experiences.

• Consistently writing for yourself strengthens your creative muscles and preserves your unique voice.

• While AI has valid applications for accessibility and acting as an assistant (like transcriptions, translations, and basic grammar checks), it can't replace our human intuition.

Substack vs. Your Website: Where to Publish Your Writing

Today, I'm talking about something I get asked about a lot: Substack.

When many business owners are starting out online, they want to get their writing out there — blogs, newsletters, and social media. This is great! Get out there!

And a common question is, "Where should I put my writing?"

These creative business owners turn to platforms like Substack because that's where people are already hanging out and it's free and easy to start.

I totally caught the Substack bug, too in 2023. I jumped in, gave it a solid year, and then made the move back to my own website.

In this episode, I'm diving into my whole experience. I'll share why I initially thought Substack was a great idea, what I loved about it, and why I ultimately decided it wasn't the right long-term fit for me.

Substack is awesome if you're just starting out and haven't built a website yet. It's free, super easy to use, and you can set it up to resemble a website, complete with an about page, a podcast, audio embeds, and even a newsletter. It can save you from needing separate email marketing software initially, which is a huge plus. You can just get writing and publishing. Something I'm all for because getting started often leads to overthinking and landing in the land of inaction and doing nothing. A place that won't grow your business.

💫 6 Key Takeaways:

• If you stopped blogging on your website in favor of Substack, make sure you check your data to see your views and measure growth.
• If you offer services or digital products on your website, your website is also the best place to host your blog.
• Substack is a decent free option for new writers or those without a website to start publishing, offering features like blogging, podcasting, and newsletter capabilities.
• While Substack gives you a simple way to build an email list and potentially monetize, it lacks advanced email marketing features (like segmentation) that most platforms offer.
• Substack may be a good platform for you if you write about topics that get censored on social media.
• Substack is a third-party platform, and I'll always prefer having my writing on a site that I control.

15:30 Invitation to my free masterclass: 5 Ways to Enjoy a Relaxed Summer of Writing

When I created the How Women Write Podcast, I knew I had to invite today's guest. Brenda Terry is an NLP Trainer, Master Coach, and Business Mentor dedicated to helping women entrepreneurs break through mental blocks, build confidence, and achieve meaningful success.

In 2019, after I'd been working with Brenda on her website copy and content for about a year, I became her client. I'd experienced what she calls NLP breakthrough coaching. She has truly helped improve my life.

When I saw she had opened a membership, I was excited to get in there. The "Brenda effect," as some of her clients call it, is real, and I wanted a regular dose.

If you've heard of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming, not Natural Language Processing), you might know that it's a tool for upgrading our brain's operating system to support us in reaching our goals. We take what's inside the nervous system and upgrade it so that our unconscious mind can align with what we consciously desire.

We can use NLP to support our writing habits and the words we write. We do this through focus, language, behavior, beliefs, and expectations.

We get into some good discussions about generative AI for writing. Our readers and clients want you—not something computer-generated. Remember, your writing is more than words on a page—it's your soul speaking.

Writing and strengthening our writing voices is a gift. When we skip those steps and ask generative AI to write it for us (even if we trained it), we're missing out on the growth.

💫 6 Key Takeaways:

• Mindfulness can be efficient — there's no need to create a six-hour morning routine before you settle in to write.
• Your body is always speaking to you—when you listen, you'll get more done.
• Most people are visual, so when you edit your drafts, incorporate visual words. Following visual systems, people are auditory and kinesthetic. So, in our writing, we'll incorporate words that speak to their dominant representational system.
• When we say yes to transformation, we're saying yes to the journey more than reaching the goal of what we say we want
• Generative AI (aka, ChatGPTing) is inauthentic and ineffective. It's better for your brain to write for yourself. Your readers and clients want you.
• If your writing feels too corporate, academic, or jargon-filled, don't try to change it as you write. Simply write how you write and edit later.

✅ 4 Practices to Try:

• Weave mindful moments throughout your day while lying in bed, waiting for the morning coffee to brew, and enjoying a walk
• Future Pacing:
  • In your sales copy, focus on the after state of working with you, more than problems (problems are still important to focus on; just keep it more balanced on the positive).
  • To get past any resistance to writing, try a mantra like Brenda's: "The past is over. It served me well. And that's not who I am anymore."
• As you write anything, remember that someone is waiting to hear the exact words you're about to write and focus on writing with the highest outcome in mind.

Have you ever dreamed of writing a book?

I mean, literally, writing while you're sleeping.

You're going to love this conversation with Malika Semper. We explore how her first book came together, sparked from sentences strung together in the middle of the night.

If she ignored them, she couldn't go back to sleep, so she'd get up at 2:00 a.m. many nights and get writing.

Malika is a certified astrologer, a teacher, and now, an author. She's about to release her first book, Tales of the Zodiac. The story behind this beautiful coffee table book is just as fascinating as the book itself.

Malika's book-writing process is possibly the best example of surrendered, intuitive, and feminine writing I've ever seen. You'll see how she balanced the divine downloads with the practical putting of the materials together.

In her creative writing process, we see how she stayed completely open, trusted the words pouring onto the page, and kept the mind chatter out of the process. It really shows in the soulful and vulnerable writing of her debut book.

Malika's journey is a reminder that creativity can't be scripted. The words may come at inconvenient times, but it's our job as writers to capture them and get them onto the page.

✨ 5 Key Takeaways:

• The muse doesn't have a schedule or boundaries. Be ready to capture ideas wherever you are, even in the middle of the night.
• Writing while in a dreamy, relaxed state is the BEST way to keep the inner critic and any censoring out of your first drafts. Writing when inspiration strikes or first thing in the morning can help.
• View writing as a non-linear creative process. You can bring structure in later.
• Collaboration can bring your vision to life. Finding the right people to work with, whether an artist or an editor, can make all the difference.
• Writing can be a vulnerable experience—sharing your authentic voice is worth it. It's truly what connects us all.

✅ 3 Recommended Actions:

• Keep a notebook and pen on your nightstand.
• Write in as relaxed an emotional state as possible for the best writing.
• Explore the energy of your sun, moon, and rising signs in Malika's book to get to know yourself and inspire your own creativity.

⚠️ Caution: This episode of How Women Write might make you want to escape to a secluded New England cabin in the woods with walls lined with books to cozy up to a weekend of reading (and some writing, too).

I think you'll find this incredible conversation with Madeleine Eno, a book coach, editor, and ghostwriter, super delicious.

Madeleine was my developmental editor for my book Intuitive Writing, and she really helped me bring it all together and make it shine. She's got so many superpowers, from book mapping to uncovering an author's "golden thread" to understanding human design, and I'm always fascinated by her work. It was so interesting to hear how she helps people uncover the heart of their book.

Before settling into her space of writing, ghostwriting, editing, and human design, she danced around words in other creative roles before finally accepting that she was meant to claim her space in the literary world.

I loved hearing about her ghostwriting experiences and how she gets into someone else's voice while never compromising her own. I think you'll really enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

We also get to hear about the children's book Madeleine is working on right now, and the delightful way she rewards herself after completing a challenging writing project 👀

✨ 6 Key Takeaways:

• Reading fiction novels can show you all the human foils, foibles, and aspirations.

• Everyone has a story, and finding your "golden thread" is key. The clearer your thread, the easier the drafting will be. Tools like human design can help, too!

• The Incarnation Cross in human design can help you uncover your soul's purpose, which can help you answer the question, "What should I write?"

• The better the book map, the better your draft.

• Inspiration comes from everywhere: Be open to inspiration from books, nature, a simple break, or even movies (even though we writers already spend a lot of time at the screen).

• Editors improve your writing. Working with an editor will push you and improve all your future writing. Editors have stretched every writer in the most powerful ways.

✅ Practices to try

• Consider a book mapping session with a coach like Madeleine to clarify your book idea. (She helped me map Intuitive Writing and was my developmental editor!)

• Discover how other writers and creators you admire find inspiration and try those techniques yourself.

• Write for yourself first before writing for others.

• If you're stuck in your writing, try changing your environment to get a fresh perspective.

• Reading a poem in the morning before writing can open up your creative world.

The part of this interview I think you'll love most is the moment that Orly discovered her love for writing in the most unexpected way.

I had the pleasure of hosting Orly Levy on the How Women Write Podcast. Orly has been in the writing community for a few years now, and it's been amazing to witness her journey as a writer and coach.

Our conversation was insightful, especially if you're struggling with sharing your stories or having trouble finding your unique voice. A good chunk of our conversation covers how emotions are essential not only for our healing but also for our creativity.

Orly shared her personal writing journey, starting from her earliest memory of creating a handmade book in elementary school to realizing her passion for writing in college after getting a B grade on a paper.

She talks about the importance of journaling as a personal outlet and how it eventually led to her coaching practice. Orly discovered early on that vulnerable and authentic storytelling was what truly connected with readers.

We also discussed overcoming the fear of vulnerability and how sharing personal stories isn't as much about the details as the emotions. You'll love a recent experience she shared where her writing deeply touched a reader, leading her to create a piece specifically for his community.

✨ 5 Key Takeaways

• Expressing emotions is essential for both healing and creative expression.

• Vulnerable storytelling connects with readers on a deeper level than just facts and listacles.

• Surrendering to the writing process and allowing the story to evolve takes guts — and it'll be worth it.

• Intuition plays a key role in knowing what to write.

• Authenticity and sharing your heart creates a genuine bond with your audience.

✅ Practices to try

1. Start a daily journaling practice to explore your thoughts around where you can be more vulnerable in your writing.

2. See if you have a personal story you've been hesitant to share. Maybe you'll start writing it.

3. When writing about your experiences, focus on the emotions more than the details.

Maybe you've seen the popular "fuck your mood, follow the plan" online.

Leila Hormozi has really popularized this expression. I love her advice and podcast — she's smart, driven, and clearly successful.

I agree with this phrase to an extent. In life and business, there are sometimes things we don't want to do. In these cases, yes, forget your feelings and follow the plan.

This got me thinking, though, and I propose a fresher approach that's better suited to how women write. If they want to create in a more sustainable way, which differs from how men create.

While discipline is important, what if we could align our writing and work with our natural moods and cycles?

I'd like to introduce you to the idea of "mood-first planning."

Your mood can be affected by many things, specifically your menstrual cycle and the moon. While we're not blaming the moon for anything, that's not what we're about.

Instead, we can work with the mood (aka the moon) of the day.

By understanding and honoring nature's cycles, women can boost their productivity and effectiveness and even enjoy the writing process.

I encourage you to experiment with mood-based planning and see how it transforms your writing output.

✨ 4 Key Takeaways

1. Your mood matters (sometimes): You can use your feelings as leverage for more productive writing sessions.

2. The moon's phases and daily zodiac sign affect energy levels and creative flow.

3. The best weeks to follow the plan are from the full moon to the new moon (or ovulation to menstruation if you have a menstrual cycle).

4. Flow over force makes for easier writing that will resonate more strongly with your readers.

✅ Practices to try

• Plan your writing tasks for the coming week according to the moon's phase.

• Observe your daily mood: Pay attention to how the moon's phase and sign impact your daily mood and writing.

In this episode of the How Women Write Podcast, I explore the concept of writing flow, drawing inspiration from the philosophy of Wu Wei, famously embraced by Bruce Lee.

Wu Wei is all about writing with effortless action. It's writing that's fluid, spontaneous, and adaptable. There are no writing blocks when we're in action.

You'll hear an example of how I saw these principles in action by getting my hermit self out the door to not one, but two networking events in one week, helping me push outside of my comfort zone.

Momentum in your writing helps you stay in motion. It will be harder to stop writing after you listen to this.

This episode is filled with practical insights to help you write in harmony with your natural flow.

✨ 5 Key Takeaways

1. Embrace Effortless Action: Adopt the Wu Wei philosophy — acting (writing) without force and aligning with natural rhythm.

2. Momentum is Key: Getting started creates momentum, making it easier to keep going.

3. Imperfect Action: Don't wait for perfection. Just start writing, even if it's messy (write the imperfect SFD - Surrendered First Draft).

4. Adaptability: Be like water, flowing around obstacles and adapting to the moment by writing different things

5. Use Nature's Rhythm: Sync your writing with natural cycles and your personal rhythm.

✅ Practices to try

• Jump Right In: When facing writer's block, start writing anything (even if it's a grocery list) to get the momentum going.

• Switch Gears: If you get stuck, switch to a different writing task and then return to your original one.

• Write With Others to Create Momentum: Join a writing community for focused co-writing to stay accountable and in motion.

• Embrace Imperfection: Aim for a Surrendered First Draft (SFD) – get the words on the page without worrying about perfection.

• Attend Events: Step out of your comfort zone and attend networking events to spark inspiration and momentum. In-person events are fuel for writers.

14:08 Conclusion and Invitation to the free Blog to Book Masterclass

📖 Do you have a blog or a big bank of social content? Discover how to turn it into a book in this free masterclass.

I love blogs! I love reading them and I love writing them. If you've been thinking about starting a blog, you'll love the 15 questions I ask you in here. They'll help you to get honest with yourself and help create a strong foundation for your best blogging.

You'll hear about my blogging journey, which began in 2012. My initial motivation to start writing came from a desire to share my experiences with going plant-based overnight. What started as sharing my personal journey evolved into a platform for sharing plant-based recipes and eventually shifted toward writing and copywriting.

✨ 5 Key Takeaways

1. Find Your Blogging "Why": Begin blogging because you genuinely want to share something meaningful and useful, not just because it's trendy or someone suggested it. Your personal experiences and excitement are your best content.

2. Know Your Reader: By clearly identifying who you're writing to and what their struggles and desires are, you'll be able to choose relevant and impactful content.

3. Start Simple and Be Consistent: Begin with a manageable blogging frequency (e.g., monthly) and work your way up to weekly or multiple times a week. Focus on creating valuable content rather than getting caught up in perfection or SEO at the beginning.

4. Build an Email List with your Blog: This gives you direct access to your audience, independent of social media algorithms.

5. Your Experience is Enough: You know more than someone who is just starting out. Share your knowledge and journey, even if you don't consider yourself a 20-year "expert." Your unique perspective is valuable.

✅ Practices to try

• Pen-and-Paper Brainstorming: Before diving into writing in your document, take time to write down your thoughts and ideas with pen and paper. This can help slow down your thinking, help you to be more honest with yourself, and uncover some surprises.

• Identify Your Core Struggles/Experiences: Think about the challenges you've overcome and what people frequently ask you for advice on. These experiences and topics can form the foundation of your blog content.

• Describe Your Ideal Reader: Before creating content, describe your ideal reader in detail. Consider their demographics, struggles, desires, and what keeps them up at night. This exercise will help you create content that resonates with them.

• Start a Journaling Practice: If you don't already journal, begin writing one page a day or just five minutes of stream-of-consciousness thoughts. This practice can help you clear your mind, sharpen your writing skills, and give you ideas for your blog.

In this episode of How Women Write, you'll hear about how I created my original blog in 2012 following some family health challenges. This episode is a preview of what we'll explore in the upcoming free masterclass: Turn Your Blog Into a Book. That blog turned into a business, which laid the foundation for the thriving business I have today in a completely unrelated area.

Blogging will boost your writing habits and prepare you for book writing. It will also give you visibility and (this is my favorite part)—provide the content for your book.

All of my books contain some content that came from a blog.

If you think you have a book in you someday, and aren't sure what it is yet, or know you have a book in all you've created, listen in.

✨ 5 Key Takeaways

1. You know enough to start a blog today. Don't think too much about who your blog is for, you'll figure it out.

2. Your blog can turn into a business and a book.

3. Blogging creates a strong writing habit, giving you practice and strengthening your writing skills.

4. Blogging will grow your audience—the same audience you'll launch your book to.

5. Blog posts can turn into book content later.

✅ Practices to try

• Think about what problem you've overcome and list the stories you could tell about your journey.

• Write about what you know, what someone who's just a few months to a year behind you in your journey.

• Do an inventory of your blog or social content and see what themes are contained in there
