Advertise on podcast: Story U Talk Radio with Coach Debby

Writing a book is a very creative process that I will break down in phases. I love making books! And I understand that for many people, it sounds pretty overwhelming.  Today's show will get into 5 phases of book writing and inspiration available to you along the way. I strongly suggest that you follow your favorite authors and listen to their interviews. You'll hear them share their vulnerable journey, and it will help you honor the phase of writing you are in as well.  After all, an author is a real human being. Your favorite authors went before you, and by listening to their interviews, you're reminded that they are admirable individuals with a story, just like you. They once were finding their way through book writing... just like you. I am currently accepting requests for individualized coaching.

Many people think they don't have a "writer's" voice. On the one hand, they really want to produce great writing. On the other hand, they believe they lack charisma to share words on paper. Can you relate to this? Today show will help you understand the myths standing in your way. Don't fall for the lies. Your voice isn't lost; your voice needs your time and attention so it can develop.  I am offering a storytelling class at a discounted rate.  Follow this link: https://us17.campaign-archive.com/?u=b4e0e4813c2d5d7bc3e03507b&id=c1828ad5f5 Subscribe to receive news or send in a question:  https://www.coachdebby.com/connect Watch Coach Debby on Youtube https://youtube.com/@coachdebby564?si=gELppf0nNHaz8QI2 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Most of us put WAY too pressure on ourselves to be excellent at just about anything we care about. We want to be excellent friends, partners, workers, and - you guessed it - writers! We don’t want to settle. My suggestion is that you give yourself the time to get to know how YOU like to write and the space to develop over time. I am offering courses and 1:1 coaching. Please request a free consultation. Send me a note and I’ll send info:  https://coachdebby.com/connect See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I have coached so many amazing people that tell me they have writer's block, but I'm not fooled by that :) Most of us (including me) experience, emotional upset that makes us THINK our writing days are over. The truth is that we can't write as clearly or thoughtfully when tangled up emotions are dictating every word. So you're not experiencing writers block. Your experiencing distress in your personal or professional life.  Today I'm offering good news: I can help you with this! I like to use an ancient tool called the Enneagram. You certainly don't need any background with this tool to follow along easily with this episode. I believe the content of today's show will give you peace as well as a few tricks you can use to quickly get "unblocked." And I have far more tricks up my sleeve. I also offered Classes and Retreats. I've just started talking about the latest offerings in this newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/e97bc2e77735/stories-of-love-the-retreat-bundle?e=%5BUNIQID%5D If you find you'd like a free consultation, please write to me and make the request.   https://www.coachdebby.com/connect Coach Debby on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@coachdebby564?si=q88zUTXpZJbYIKi5 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Since most of us work at a job or around the home, it's a good idea to check in periodically and ask if we're happy? Are we using our best skills, and are we feeling inspired throughout the day? Are we creating the life we want? We create the stories of our lives! Many people are aware that they've reached a certain level of competency, but not necessarily the happiness they've dreamt about. Gay Hendricks addresses this in his book, The Big Leap. Today, Coach Debby will take you through several concepts from Hendrick's book and help you recognize that you have the power to claim your "Zone of Genius." Coach Debby's course offerings come out each quarter. Follow this link:  https://us17.campaign-archive.com/?u=b4e0e4813c2d5d7bc3e03507b&id=c1828ad5f5 Subscribe to receive news, send in a question, or request a consultation:  https://www.coachdebby.com/connect Watch Coach Debby on Youtube https://youtube.com/@coachdebby564?si=gELppf0nNHaz8QI2 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Memoir is this wonderful category of writing where a person focuses on a major theme from their life story and shares how they changed over time. Many writers of memoir have never written a book before - they're not even sure they identify as an author, but they know they have a story to tell. And they know their story will impact readers. In this episode, you receive a mini-masterclass depicting what memoir is, who became well-known, which memoirs stood the test of time - and most of all - the benefits to you as a reader of memoir. Coach Debby offers classes and retreats for all levels of writers.

For most of us, writing is a solitary project. Yet it is not adviced that you completely go it alone. On today's show, and in my recent newsletter attached here, we discussed the perspective you'll gain from a writing group, and the instant growth you'll experience with a coach. Check out the newsletter for an upcoming and interactive workshop with Coach Debby: https://mailchi.mp/4fd440c8f7de/a-personalized-podcast-for-you-14192692?e=97288cdbf1 Reach out with questions for the show or to interact with Coach Debby directly: coachdebby.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The "not enough" syndrome begins with a thought - any old thought swimming around in your mind - that you make true. You tell your mind, this problem of mine is rock solid truth. And since you only see that perspective, you only believe in that perspective. You might think, "I never have enough time!" (And so you don't!) But what if you could change your beliefs? (You can!) And what if somebody taught you how? (I will today!) By up-leveling your beliefs, you take the first step to truly serving your dreams and desires. Tune in and notice the examples that might be just like your challenges. Change can happen quickly :) Do you need a life coach?

While you may explore marketing and strategy-building courses for your book, the best way to predict you’ll be a best-selling author is to look within. The stuff on the outside matters — your platform, your brand, your subscribers — but all of that predicts quantity. You’re going for quality. Your book will be on the top 100 list, and here’s how you’ll do it. Today, I’ll dive into your questions about writing a book and helps you gain the conviction to be a best-selling author. As a writing coach, I’d love to know what you're drafting.

For years as a college instructor, I had no idea the amount of stress that new writer's were experiencing. I was around up to 50 writers in one room, all stressed to the max about their upcoming writing assignment. At the time, I taught students about time management and how to deal with fear so they could put their procrastination to bed.  But honestly, it was never enough.  Giving students tips and tricks never made the bogeyman go away for good. The next assignment would appear, and they were face-to-face with a worse monster who seemed to have doubled in size since the last homework assignment.  Let's not forget life situations that show up unannounced - such as injury, or break ups, and other losses.  So it came time to take a deep dive into understanding the mind, where stress really comes from, and how to shift toward peace. Last week we looked at the fight or flight signals of stress. Now, we'll get into Part 2 so you can get some relief from stress today! We hope you love the show!
