What if the book you were meant to write has been waiting — and the only thing missing was a way to bring it through?

In this episode of The Write Habit Podcast, I’m sharing the full journey behind the book I recently finished:

40,000 words written entirely through automatic writing — no outline, no plan, just deep trust and daily practice.

After opening up about this on social media, I received so many questions about how I kept going, how I stayed connected to the process, and why this way of writing felt so healing and transformative. 

Today, I’m pulling back the curtain and answering them all.

Inside this episode:

•  How I moved from a simple writing ritual to a finished first draft
•  Why automatic writing unlocked a deeper, more intuitive voice
•  The surprising way my subconscious shaped the book’s direction and voice
•  How writing this way bypassed perfectionism and overthinking
•  Why I believe you can do this too — no matter what kind of book you dream of writing

One ordinary morning, I sat down to do a little automatic writing—and a whole book started to pour through me.

 A book I didn’t plan to write.
A story I didn’t expect to tell.

 A truth about shame, healing, and allowing life—and creativity—to be beautifully imperfect.

In today’s Write Walk episode of The Write Habit Podcast, join me for a walk through Mill Road Cemetery as I share the moment I realised:

 🌿 You don't have to plan your book 
 🌿 Your creativity is allowed to be messy
 🌿 The most powerful stories come through when you stop forcing

If you’re longing to start your book but feel stuck trying to "do it right," this is your permission slip to begin differently.

Can you really make money as a writer?

Yes—and it can be aligned, joyful, and deeply fulfilling.

In this episode of The Write Habit Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I built my writing business from scratch—starting with a single writing retreat—and how I’ve since created multiple income streams as a writer, coach, and mentor. Whether you're dreaming of getting paid to write, coach, or teach… or you’re already doing it but feeling stuck or scattered, this one’s for you.

I’ll walk you through:

💡 The real-world options for making money as a writer and writing coach—like ghostwriting, running workshops, content creation, retreats, and more
 💡 How to find your niche and build a business around the people you truly want to serve
💡 Why it’s okay (and powerful) to start small and imperfectly
💡 The common mistakes I made—and how you can avoid them

Plus, I’m sharing 5 powerful lessons from my 4-year journey building a business with writing at its heart:

1️⃣ Start with one doable step—not an over-researched master plan
2️⃣ Align your business with your deeper mission
3️⃣ Don’t chase trends that don’t fit your soul
4️⃣ Diversify and give yourself space to experiment
5️⃣ Do the inner work—because self-worth and healing are part of this path

Whether you want to earn your first £100 or grow something sustainable and soul-led, this episode will give you inspiration, direction, and gentle truth-telling from someone who’s walked the path.

💫 You can write. You can help others. And yes—you can make money doing both.

Have you ever sat down to write and felt completely overwhelmed—unsure where to start or what to focus on?

That’s where the Three Hat Method comes in. 

It helps you get clear before every writing session:

Are you editing? Drafting? Planning? 

Without clarity, you get stuck.

In this week’s Write Habit Podcast, I’m sharing one of the most helpful mindset shifts I teach. The Three Hat Method is a simple way to untangle your process and finally make progress—with more ease and less overwhelm.

- How does it work exactly
- Why forcing yourself to “just get it done” doesn’t help
- How giving yourself permission to wear just one hat at a time gives you flow

In this episode, I’m sharing the 5 most life-changing lessons I’ve learned through automatic writing—insights I wish I’d had years ago. 

This episode is a glimpse into what’s possible when you stop forcing clarity and instead, let wisdom find you.

And what I didn't say in the episode because I recorded it a few days ago - since then I've started a book written exclusively with automatic writing. For 1h a day, I write my new book in meditative state, and I'm now 15000 words in (after ca. 10 days).

Ever feel like you’re stepping into the unknown—whether in writing or in life? It's uncomfortable, isn't it... But you’re not alone.​

As writers and creatives, we often have to navigate the 'fog', moving forward even when the destination isn’t clear.​

In this short, reflective Write Walk episode, I invite you to embrace the uncertainty, trust the process, and view writing (and life) as a journey of transformation, not just goal-setting.​

Together, we’ll take a walk through the fog (literally) and explore:

• The power of taking steps before the path is fully revealed.​
• Why creativity often requires walking through the unknown.​
• How to keep writing even when you're unsure.​

This isn’t just about finishing a writing project—it’s about stepping into trust in all areas of your life.​

Let’s walk into the fog together. You’re exactly where you need to be.​

#writehabit

P.S. Next week we'll talk about one way to deal with uncertainty: automatic writing. I'm so excited to bring that episode to you (and an invitation to learn the technique with me). Stay tuned, subscribe, share... and talk soon!
