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 itWhy your book is not about the writing — it’s about the transformation you feel called to shareHow turning your lived experience, research, or healing into a book becomes a path for others to followHow to recognize the call to write — and actually answer it, instead of postponing it another yearIf 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.Want to write a book in 2026?
