81% of people say they want to write a book...but only 15% begin. So how do you become one of those people, and actually START writing the book you've been dreaming about?

In this episode — part 1 of a 3-part behind-the-scenes book publishing series — we'll answer the biggest question Katie has gotten over the last few years about how to begin the book-writing process. We'll talk super-specific logistical steps, and also the essential mental and emotional work that goes into making sure your words make it to the page.

Plus, never-before-shared behind the scenes of how exactly WANT YOUR SELF: Shift Your Self-Talk and Unearth The Strength In Who You Were All Along came to life in those earliest days. It might not be what you expect!
