What makes my coaching different from other writing coaches:
I approach coaching from both a science and spiritual framework—I believe we are co-creators of our lives AND that we can use brain science to help us write
I specialize in helping writers overcome resistance (procrastination, perfectionism, writer’s block). I am here to get you excited to write again and find more joy in your writing process.
I believe mindset & healing is a big part of the work (I literally have clients who watched my mindset training and then wrote an entire zero draft within a few weeks)
Focusing on solutions rather than complaining about problems is going to serve you more in the long run. (That's not to say you can't vent to me—that's what I am here for! It means that I will encourage you to find solutions to struggles and hype you up when you need it)
ADHD/ADD & mental health: Because I have lived experiences with this, I can come from a place of true understanding (please see my disclaimer on my about me page)
I am “woo woo”—I like witchy stuff, spiritual stuff, manifestation stuff, but I also like science & believe in vaccines
What I don't do as a coach:
Edit your work (I have editor friends who I can send you to). I am not a “workshopping” coach. Having someone revise your pages can often actually make writer’s resistance worse, and I’m not here for that. I want you to find joy in your writing and actually WRITE.
Focus on craft. While craft books and craft topics are super helpful for many people, practicing writing is what makes our craft better. I find that many of my clients struggle more with resistance when reading craft books. What makes a good writer? One who writes a lot and learns the craft by DOING.
Preach hustle culture. I do NOT subscribe to focusing on productivity and causing burnout. I have seen the consequences of burnout and never want to perpetuate that in my work with clients. I am here to help you create sustainable writing practices that will help you write book after book.
Teach you that there is only one way to write a book. If you’re looking for someone to say “you must write an outline” or give you an exact method, I am not that person. Writing is extremely personal and everyone’s process is different. It’s not a one size fits all approach. I am here to help you find your process & lean into that, not give you a process that you have to adhere to.
