Episode notes:If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll write your memoir when you have more time… more clarity… more confidence—this episode is for you.
Today, we’re going one layer deeper than productivity tips and writing advice. We’re talking about the fears that hide behind “I’m just busy” and “maybe someday.” The ones that sound reasonable. The ones that keep you stuck.
In this episode, we explore:
* Why time and talent are rarely the real blockers
* The quiet fears that keep aspiring memoirists circling instead of starting
* Why avoidance often looks responsible (and feels convincing)
* What it really costs to keep postponing your story
* How to move from thinking about writing to actually beginning
If you felt seen—or slightly exposed in the best way—you’re not alone. And you’re not late. You’re right on time.
Ready to stop circling and actually begin?
I’m hosting a free live masterclass on January 14:3 Simple and Powerful Ways to Kickstart Your Memoir
In this one-hour workshop, I’ll help you:
* Find a clear, doable starting point
* Understand why your story matters (without exaggerating or apologizing)
* Build momentum instead of waiting for confidence to magically appear
