Have you ever wanted to give up because you questioned if all the effort you've put into creating was worth it at all?

My guest knows all about this and shows us how to remain committed to creating, despite the challenges along the way.

In this episode, author Nana Ekua Brew-Hammond teases nuggets of gold from the toughest lessons she learned not just before but also after the debut of her novel "Powder Necklace".

Lessons like:

• Accepting that there's never going to be a perfect set of circumstances to make creating easier
• Learning to follow your creative spark even if it switches gears
• Knowing when something you've created has missed its time.
• Embracing the new parts of yourself you'll discover on your creating journey.
• Realizing that decision points don't just come once. They come again and again.
• Seeing that creating isn't an easy road that gets easier. It's not even a hard road that will get easier. It's often a hard road that gets harder. Even so. Keep going. It's still worth it.

Even if you've never felt like you had "a book inside you waiting to come out" there's so much you're going to learn from this episode about committing to a creating journey that's windy, twisty, and gloriously imperfect!
