The Book Coach Chronicles

In this episode, we're talking about growth mindset and self-awareness. What is growth mindset? How can you apply it to yourself and your business? We've got some tips on using growth mindset to get that book written, too!

And then we dive into a conversation with Jamie Milam on self-awareness. Jamie's life took a determined turn at 15 when she faced independence and battled drug addiction. Discovering motherhood at 19, she embraced the pressure to create a better life for herself and her child.

From humble beginnings, Jamie's problem-solving skills led to three successful businesses. Her true liberation, however, came from self-awareness, enabling her to navigate challenges with unwavering calm and align her strategies authentically. As an alignment coach, she empowers female entrepreneurs to break free from pressure, find peace, and align their strategies with their genuine aspirations.

In this episode, we're talking archetypes and how you can use them to find more creativity. We've got just a couple of weeks left of summer 2023 before we move into fall's Flow Season of creativity and productivity bursts. I'm talking to friend and fellow author + coach, Lewis Jorstad on creative archetypes, burnout, and how to plan a book series.

Lewis Jorstad is an author and developmental editor who helps indie authors (and soon-to-be authors) master their craft and find their readers over at The Novel Smithy. When he isn't busy coaching students or writing books of his own, you can find him playing old Gameboy games and baking far too many homemade bagels.

In this episode, I'm chatting with sobriety coach Sarah Williamson, and y'all... I almost wish I was joking when I tell you how much of a difference deciding I no longer wanted to be "a drinker" has had on my creativity, energy, and mental health.

If you're looking for the missing piece to what's holding back your creativity, that extra glass of wine just may be it.

Sarah has spent the last 12 years coaching and mentoring people who've struggled with their addictions and mental health, she feels that choosing to change your relationship with alcohol before you hit rock bottom is a powerful and positive choice to make.

She is passionate about spreading the message that our lives can be joyful and fun on the other side of our drinking careers and there's no need to feel lonely, stressed or bored on this journey.

 Sarah is a coach, trainer, public speaker, writer, podcaster and published author.
