Intro

Welcome back to Alchemy for Authors!

Do you feel the pull to write your book but find yourself procrastinating, doubting your abilities, or waiting for the perfect moment to start? What if the very resistance you're facing is a sign you're on the right path?

In this episode of Alchemy for Authors, I'm diving into the hidden messages behind creative resistance — what it's really trying to tell you and how you can move through it. I'll share why resistance often shows up strongest when you're about to create something meaningful, along with practical tools and mindset shifts to break through fear, self-doubt, and perfectionism.

If you've ever wondered why writing your book feels so hard—and whether that struggle means you're not cut out to be a writer—this episode is your reminder that resistance isn't a stop sign... it's a compass guiding you toward the work you're meant to do.

Listen now to learn how to alchemise your resistance into your greatest creative breakthrough.
