Trust yourself to dig deeper and move to your next level

This solo episode gets into decisions that are necessary to move to your next level. It doesn’t matter how big or small the step is.

It’s about taking that next step because each one pushes you out of your comfort zone and toward your next new level, which will require you to dig deep. It’s about not comparing your next level to someone else’s because it only matters what is big to you to accomplish. So whether you’re writing your first book, publishing your latest book in a different genre, doing your first interview, hosting your first book signing or even if you’ve done many of these before, but not at the scale or level where this new opportunity will take you, it still requires action. And some of those steps, may seem invisible to everyone around you, except to you, yet you still need to take them.

So if you’re questioning if you’re the right person for your book, or if you’ve said “yes” to opportunities and are in your head about them, or just need a pep talk, let this episode be encouragement to keep going.

You Know It's a Verb, Right?

Leadership isn't something you earn once and then have. It's something you practice — every day, in every interaction, at every level of the work.

This book (which I had the joy of co-authoring) is for anyone who senses there's more to leadership than their title reflects — whether you're early in your journey, already leading a team, or running a business and realizing that leading yourself and your clients is its own kind of leadership. Using everyday language and real-life examples, it's a roadmap for the practice of becoming the leader you're already capable of being.

Because leadership doesn't happen because you sat in a classroom or earned a credential. It happens because you prepare for it.

Author Stylist Guide: Own Your Greatness, Get Visible, and Share Your Message

You published the book. Now the opportunity arrives — a book signing, a podcast invitation, a speaking engagement — and suddenly it's not about the writing anymore. It's about you, showing up, in real time, as the person behind the work.

The Author Stylist Guide is for that moment. Not how to get more opportunities — how to make the most of the ones that come to you, so you show up with confidence, shine in the room, and let your book and message reach the people who actually need them.

You already have the courage and the gifts that got you here. This book helps you use them.
