    15 Minute Meditation for Writers: The Inner Door Your Writing Has Been Waiting For

    23/1/2026 | 15 mins.
    This guided meditation is for writers who feel stuck, restless, or subtly blocked - because something beneath the surface is asking to be seen.
    In this 15-minute session, which comes from a live program I ran recently, I guide you through:
    A calming breath practice to settle your nervous system
    A gentle transition into a trance-like pause, beyond thinking and effort
    A visualisation that leads you to an inner door - a blind spot that’s been quietly calling for your attention
    5 minutes of spacious time (with music) to write down what you see
    After the 5 minutes, you can jump off and keep journaling, or debrief with me and get writing tips
    This meditation creates conditions where insights can arrive through images, sensations, and inner wisdom instead of thinking.
    Come back to this practice whenever you feel 'off' in your writing or life.  Sometimes the next step isn’t more effort - it’s opening the right door.
    ✨ Want more access to this kind of subconscious insight?
    Inside The Awakened Author (Jan 26th - March 6th, 2026), we go even deeper to directly with the subconscious so your writing can move again.

    The Four Thresholds You Must Cross When Your Writing Stalls

    22/1/2026 | 12 mins.
    This episode is for experienced writers whose projects have stalled.
    I introduce what I call the "4 authorship thresholds": the moment when beginner strategies stop working because your authorship has evolved.

    I unpack:

    • Why over-planning, fake deadlines, and accountability hacks backfire at this stage

    • How subconscious evolution creates friction with outdated writing habits

    • The four thresholds every experienced writer must cross to return to flow

    • Why this moment isn’t a strategy problem, it’s an initiation

    This is a conversation about authorship becoming something deeper than productivity. 
    If your writing feels heavy, resistant, or blocked, listen closely.
    You may be closer to your next level than you think.

    🔥 Need help with this?

    If this episode describes you, "The Awakened Author" (Jan 26th-March 6th) was created for exactly this moment.

    This isn’t a craft or productivity program.

    It’s an initiation into your next level of authorship — where the inner shift happens first, and the writing follows.

    We begin Jan 26th.
    Pre-sale ends soon.

    Why I Haven’t Planned My Year (and Why That’s Okay)

    11/1/2026 | 10 mins.
    It’s January 11 - and I haven’t planned my year.
    Instead of forcing 12-month goals or rigid structures, I’m learning to trust a more embodied, aligned way of moving forward. And that feels hard for me. 
    Let's talk about:
    How not having your year figured out can be a good thing
    The perceived "tension" between safety and inner truth
    Letting go of rigid planning without giving up responsibility
    If you’re entering this year as slow as I have, this episode will help you to listen inward.

    Why 2026 Is Your Year to Write a Book

    23/11/2025 | 7 mins.
    It’s time to stop dreaming about “someday” — and start creating the book that could change your life and the lives of others in 2026.
    In this episode, I’m not just talking about writing a book.
     I’m talking about your mission — the one that keeps nudging you, whispering that you’re meant to lead, to disrupt, to wake people up with your work.
    And November is the moment to say yes to that mission.
    I open up about:
    My own story of burnout, awakening, and breaking free — and how it became You Are Already Free, a book I wrote because I knew someone out there needed it
    Why your book is not about the writing — it’s about the transformation you feel called to share
    How turning your lived experience, research, or healing into a book becomes a path for others to follow
    How to recognize the call to write — and actually answer it, instead of postponing it another year
    If you feel even a flicker of “this is for me,” that spark matters.
     Your story, your research, your message has the power to shake someone awake.
     And writing your book is the most direct, powerful way to step into that leadership.
