Episode notes
Retreat Sparked The Book
- Hilary wrote her book during a focused retreat at her in-laws' cabin after carving out quiet space from family duties.
- Her husband supported her by creating uninterrupted writing time, which led to rapid progress and 60% completion in a week.
Crises Prompted Identity Shift
- Hilary describes traumatic childbirth and her son's NICU stay plus her older son's burn accident as pivotal life events.
- Those crises broke her identity as 'just a mom' and led her toward rediscovering who she was beyond external roles.
Define How You Want To Show Up
- Sit down and define how you want to show up and which words (joy, integrity) matter to you.
- Then regularly check where you're not showing up that way and ask why to gain clarity and course-correct.
