Writers Write, Speakers Speak EP: 058

Have you ever wanted to become a speaker? A writer? Where are you on your journey to becoming the speaker or writer you’ve always wanted to be? Have you even taken the first step to fulfilling your dream?

On today’s episode of The Inside Story Podcast, I’m sharing with you my thoughts and my own inside stories on what it really takes to become a writer and speaker.

Join me as I talk about:

•    What’s stopping most women from pursuing their dreams of being a speaker or writer
•    How perfectionism can take away from the whole experience
•    My favorite books from Anne Lamott and Julia Cameron that have helped me on my writing journey and hone my creativity
•    What you have to do to start working your way towards your dream (it’s pretty simple, but not very easy!!)

Sharing your story through the written or spoken word is an important part of building and strengthening your community. Whether you want to be a writer or speaker -- or even both!! -- dedicate yourself to your craft. Write the words. Speak out loud. It is only in doing that we become.

I have 3 special invites for you! Join me inside the LIGHTbeamers Community on Facebook and take that first step on your storytelling journey! The Community is a safe space where you can practice sharing your story, whether on video or by writing.

If you want to take your writing to the next level, I invite you to explore becoming an Author together with me. Head over to the LIGHTbeamers Author Program page to find out more, and reach out to me if this sparks something in you!

And if it’s public speaking you’re interested in, I hold an annual Storytelling Symposium where women gather to share their stories. Send me an email at [email protected] if you feel you’re ready to take the center stage and be one of the inspiring speakers at the next symposium!
