Are you following your path

Are you following YOUR path?

Are you following YOUR path? Do you know where you’re going? Are you feeling confident that this is YOUR path? It’s taken me YEARS to feel that confidence. But the more I work with women on their books, the more I feel that this is truly my path. And in turn, I help them see…

Put your writing cap on

10 ways to put your writing cap on

1. Track your cycle or/and the moon cycle alongside your creativity and mood. Within three months/cycles, you will have a fair idea of when you tend to be at your most creative. Keep those days for writing ONLY – plan your writing days around those creative days. Beware, they’re not necessarily your highest-energy days. For…

Lovely women, please know this: it…

Creativity and your cycle

Book love

What I love about you…

Do you know what I love about you? That I don’t even need to explain to you what I do. My ‘job title’ – my ‘passion title’ – says it all to the kind of client I want to work with – YOU. You know what a birth doula is, so you have a very…
