Episode 21 - How to Write a Book in Motherhood: Overcoming Self-Doubt and Finding Time with Editor Laura Benn

Have you ever thought about writing a book? 

So many people have told me that they want to write a book. But it seems overwhelming, too big a project or they just don’t know where to start. 

In this episode, my book editor, Laura Benn from Gooseberry Studios and I go in depth on the book writing process including all the insecurities that will inevitably come up. 

Even if book writing isn’t on your agenda, mamas, you’ll get a lot out of this raw conversation. 

“The mother is the centre of a family and if she is in a good space, everything is easier. Everything is better is the family because she is in a better space.” 

Laura and I chat about:

• Why I thought motherhood and postnatal depletion were so important to write about
• How I worked through self-doubt and perfectionism during the writing process 
• My book writing process 
• Why accountability is so key to getting a book or any project done 
• The importance of story and story telling 
• A similarity between writing and motherhood (hint: everything is a process and we are always learning)

“It feels good to not let fear or self-doubt paralyze you or stop you from doing meaningful work or doing whatever it is that you want to do.”
