You might think that when you sit down to write a book, you use mostly your brain, your intellect, or your thoughts to concoct the perfect argument, the most interesting story.

I believe there’s more to it than that. 

I’ve written 14 books and helped hundreds of authors write, edit and publish their works and I’ve witnessed an invisible and inexplicable x factor responsible not only for bringing the idea to you, but also for growing that idea to fruition. 

While I don’t know how to name this “x factor” or to define it, I have experienced it again and again and can’t imagine writing a book without it. 

If you have a book you’re meant to write, maybe you don’t need to be “smart enough” or “good enough” to make it happen.

Maybe all you need is to listen closely to what this “x factor” is trying to say.

From the 14th floor of a hotel room in downtown Nashville while the entire city is under a layer of ice, I send you this not-so-subtle nudge to use your voice.

You may have told yourself that you’d write your book “someday,” or that you aren’t a real writer anyway, or that nobody would listen to what you have to say, or that you’d speak up if you had a bigger platform. 

The truth is that your words are needed now more than ever. 

Regardless of your politics or life circumstances, the most effective and profound way you can join the revolution of this time is to pick up your pen and become the change you want to see in the world. 

This is your benediction.

Here we are, at the start of a new year. 

How is it going for you? How does it feel to start fresh? 

Beginning something new can feel exhilarating. After all, anything is possible, all is new. But being a beginner can also feel intimidating and overwhelming. 

After all anything is possible, all is new. 

In today’s episode, I want to talk about what it means to be a beginner (as in: someone who begins again and again) and why it matters so much. 

Whether you’re in the “working my resolutions for the new year” camp or the “new years is an arbitrary marker on a man-made calendar camp,” I invite you into the newness of this day, of everyday. 

I invite you to see yourself as a beginner.

This is a time of year that seems to move at lightning speed. it can feel like, if we don’t also move at lightning speed, we’ll fall behind and miss something truly important. What if moving fast isn’t the flex you’ve been told it is?

It might seem like FAST is the way to get more out of life. Think of all the magic we can experience and things we can accomplish if we move at the fastest possible pace! 

But what if we’re wrong about that?

In this weeks episode I want to give you permission to move much more slowly than is culturally normal this time of year, and maybe even more slowly than you’re used to moving. Fast might be “normal” for you but take a minute and ask if it feels gentle or even good in your system. 

What if you could move more slowly and actually get MORE (rather than less) out of your life?

Today, I suggest exactly that. It’s a little benediction for you as you move through the busiest time of year.

I’ve been practicing something recently that I want to share with you.

It’s pulling me out of survival mode and into pure presence.

It’s asking me to drop the ego I barely knew I was carrying.

It’s helping me get more honest about who I am and what I really need.

It’s not flashy or impressive (quite the opposite). It’s grounding and simple. 

And in case you might want to practice this too, I’m sharing it with you today.

Maybe you don’t need to do more, be more, try harder. Maybe you (like me) need to listen more deeply.

If you’re a high-achiever who has built your life on hard work, dedication and getting difficult tasks done, you probably can’t imagine what it would be like to allow your life to happen in a way that is organic and easy. 

Just let things happen however they happen???

It might even sound kind of “wrong”. 

You might think to yourself that everything good in your life has been built by the achiever in you who knows how to get great things accomplished. 

But what if all of that power and passion you bring to your work and your life could be directed toward a life of ease?

What if “easy” doesn’t mean what you think it does? 

This is a tiny little nuance that will not only change the way you think about the word “easy” but will (hopefully) revolutionize the way you experience your life.

If you’re feeling stuck in your writing or in your life, it’s very possible your body and mind are telling two different stories. 

In today’s episode I talk not only about why this happens but also how to reconcile the two, and even share a simple writing exercise to help you do it. 

When you integrate the story your mind and body are telling, deep healing takes place. I hope you enjoy the episode and the extra resources I share below.

If you’ve ever stopped yourself from doing something because you were afraid, I have a question for you.  

What is *under* your fear?

This might not be the first question you think to ask yourself about your fear. But I recently started looking *behind* my fear and I found something unexpected. 

What I found is dissolving my fears in a way I couldn’t have predicted. 

I’m sharing my story today on the podcast.

What do astrology and storytelling have in common? 

Both have an amazing way of taking the seemingly disconnected events of our lives and giving them meaning and order.  

On this week’s episode, I interview author, teacher and world-renowned astrologist Debra Silverman and dig into the power astrology offers to organize the experiences of our lives. Together we discover just how much our work has in common.

Whether you are curious about astrology, a devoted student, or an admitted skeptic, this conversation will help you make meaning of your life story. 

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

You can buy Debra’s latest book HERE!
