If you're sitting on the figurative sidelines of your own life or business, feeling stuck in imposter syndrome and excuses - why you're not qualified, why your voice isn't as valuable as the so-and-so the next tab over, why it's just not the right time to share that message you genuinely feel called to share...pull up an earbud and get comfy, frien…

I've been reading some really interesting parenting books lately (will have to do full book reports in other episodes - they're REALLY good).

One of the most valuable writing / speaking tips I can give to those who want to build GENUINE connection online is to write to ONE.
