We’d love you to share this episode with your friends, community, and anyone you think would enjoy it.

In this episode of the Unbound Writer’s Club, Nicola’s inspired by a conversation that took place during her Compelling Confidence programme – it focused on fears, doubts and resistance that bubble up around our book-writing journeys, and how to alchemize them.

In this Episode:

• The world we live in can criticise, ridicule and misunderstand
• Protecting ourselves from loss, criticism, disappointment…
• Acknowledging it's never going to feel entirely safe to share our words
• Cultivating a brave space rather than a safe space
• Following your courageous, creative heart as you write your book
• What do you need and want in place to create a brave space for your words?

In this episode of the Unbound Writer’s Club, Nicola answers a question that came up in her Compelling Confidence programme: “Do you have tips on how to really connect with your authentic voice?”. Listen in for a trio of pointers, including experimenting with speaking your words, rather than writing them. 

In this Episode:

• Allowing yourself to be fully and freely expressed on the page
• Self-monitoring, self-monitoring, self-monitoring
• Inviting the quality of ‘too much’ into your words
• Asking the question: “Is this coming from my ‘good girl’ or my unbound self?
• Being gentle and compassionate with yourself
