In this episode, we dive into the messy, exciting world of building a six-figure author career. Joined by the incredible Katie Cross, we explore how she’s turned direct sales into a thriving business for her fantasy novels and why connection with readers matters more than following every trend.

We talk about the "need" trap and how authors pile unnecessary pressure on themselves by chasing shiny objects like Shopify stores or TikTok shops. Instead, the real magic happens when you focus on what lights you up and let that guide your efforts.

You'll learn:

* Why sequencing your tasks beats chaotic multitasking every time.

* How to redefine success beyond financial milestones and embrace the joy of the creative process.

* The power of stillness, trust, and letting time happen instead of blowing things up just to feel busy.

* How to uncover and tackle the limiting beliefs that might be holding you back.

This one’s packed with insights, laughs, and the reminder that there’s no one-size-fits-all path to success. Whether you’re just starting out or working to sustain your wins, this conversation will leave you inspired to lean into what works for you.
