Do you dream of sharing your story...but the thought terrifies you? . . To be honest, before my first book came out, I was nervous as f**k . . It may come as a surprise to some, but even though I felt so strongly about sharing my story, in many ways it was still terrifying . . 🙇‍♀️ What will my family think? 🙇‍♀️ Do I have a right to talk about things like this? 🙇‍♀️ Is my story really that interesting? . . If you’d told me years ago that one day I’d share my story around the world, I would have run away screaming! . . But as I’ve since learned, speaking out about my past and sharing my story (both in person, and through my books) has been one of the most powerful and fulfilling things I could have ever done. . . ☝️ But that doesn’t mean it’s easy to do...Not then, and not now. . . ✨ I simply choose to keep moving forward DESPITE the fear. . . Do you feel the same way? Excited at the thought of sharing your story...yet terrified at the same time? . . If that's you, I want to give you some encouragement. . . ❤️ Because whether you’re a CEO or entrepreneur...a speaker...or an ambitious woman doing amazing things in your community to make a difference...you have a story that is worth sharing with the world. . . 💪🏼 SO: I want you to take a moment to look yourself in the mirror and repeat the following: (yeah okay, I know it feels weird, but give it a go!). . . 👏🏻“I am going to step up and CLAIM my space in the world as a storyteller” 👏🏻“Right now I feel scared, but I am going to take small steps and keep moving forward” 👏🏻 “I CLAIM my right to embrace my dream of changing and inspiring lives” ❇️ NOW IS THE TIME! ❇️ . If you're ready to start moving forward toward your dream of impacting lives through your story, and you'd like support with getting focused, finding your WHY, structuring your book, and getting the first 10 chapters done... Let’s chat! (PM me or hit the link in my bio). . . BUT HURRY - ONLY 4 SPACES LEFT FOR 2020!!! . . . . #authorsofinstagram #aspiringauthor #writingtips #writingcommunity #mindset #2020writinggoals #2020goals #getitgirl #bossbabe #bosslady #motivationalspeaker #entrepreneur #mompreneur #hustle

"I feel like it's time to share my story with the world...but I have no idea where to start” 〰️ 〰️ When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of writing a book or doing something that would help change lives - specifically, women who were trapped in violent relationships It may seem strange for a 10 year old to dream of something like that...but as a kid growing up in a home with family violence, I guess it made sense that this was a burning desire within me As time went on, despite all the adversities to come (like the suicide of my dad and then a sexual assault when I was 20), I fought through all my adversities and past trauma, and eventually, I began to build a career and life that I loved as a magazine editor and copywriter But...even then, I still felt that something was missing 🙇‍♀️Why? Because deep inside, I wanted to do something greater ✨ To use my story to change lives and break through barriers of shame and trauma ❤️ SO...despite how scary it felt, I decided to speak out and share my story Fast forward three years, and I’m a best selling author and writing coach who has been blessed to work with an array of kick-ass entrepreneurial women, charity founders, and globally renowned speakers . . 💫 Maybe you have a similar dream? . . If so, I want you to know that your story DESERVES TO BE HEARD . . 🔥 So if you’re an ambitious and driven woman who dreams of using your story to inspire others, connect with ideal clients, and establish yourself as a thought-leader in your field . . 🙇‍♀️ If you’re sick of sitting on the sidelines watching other inspiring women sharing their stories with the world ✅ AND you’re ready to get the support needed to finally knuckle down and write your story Then I’d love to chat with you! . . 🔥 Jump on my bio to book a free ‘idea to author’ call & find out more about my 90 day & 12 month mentoring programs!

“All you want is What you can't have And if you just look around man You see you got magic So just sit back relax Enjoy it while you still have it Don't look back on life man and only see tragic Because you could be better than that Don't let it get the better of you What could be better than now Life's not about what's better than 🎶 - John Butler Trio 〰️ 〰️ One of my favourite songs. If we can't learn to be happy with what we have now, we'll never find contentment in what we *think* will make us happy in the future. . . . . #grateful #gratitudeattitude #findyourmagic #materialism #beatingdepression #truehappinessstartshere #mindsetiseverything #mindsetiseverything #crappytohappy
