There is a lot going on behind the scenes for me right now, including do I keep using the term “nonfiction” to talk about the work I do with women writing books?? What do you think? Leave me a comment with your thoughts!

In today’s episode:

- special birthday message to my husband, Jeremy, who’s birthday is June 2, the day this episode goes live 💜

- going through it: income loss, job loss, illness relapse

- being a little cryptic when telling your true personal story is part of your work but you’re not ready to share it!

- taking a little pause, why, what it means, a little bit of what’s coming in the future

- thinking and learning about the Substack platform, and how it will be more integral to my business going forward

- if I don’t use the word ”nonfiction“ to talk about the work I do, what word do I use?

- how understanding more about my Enneagram type (I’m an 8) has been helping me lately
