Summary
Writing a book is amazing AND extremely confronting and challenging. In this episode, I sit with one of my besties to talk about it ALL– the excitement, the nervousness, the fears. We get REAL over the behind-the-scenes of writing and launching a book that every author I know has experienced but people really don't talk about online. We share the lessons we've both learned, the challenge in sharing your story when other people are involved and getting over the shame of revealing parts of your past that don't represent you today. I share about what it was like to write about my story with my family in Discover Your Dharma. Rosie speaks about n the brink of launching her first book, You Are Radically Loved, and the full spectrum of emotions that comes up right before you're launching your book into the world- quite similar to having a baby! You hear both of our very authentic perspectives to just cue you in on the behind-the-scenes initiation of writing a book. Enjoy!

| 0:17.2 | Makes You Your Soul's Highest Abovement. |
| 0:19.8 | I'm recording this watching the most beautiful sunset right now. |
| 0:23.2 | It is hot pink and orange and it's reflecting on the water and it's just such a beautiful |
| 0:28.6 | reminder to take a moment to honor that sacred pause, every sunrise, every sunset. |
| 0:35.4 | We are given the opportunity for renewal. |
| 0:38.3 | We're literally witnessing our planet move into her new cycle and we too are these beautiful |
| 0:45.8 | eternal and cyclical beings and I know for myself sometimes I could be like, but I want |
| 0:50.9 | to create so much and I have all these dreams and goals and aspirations and it's beautiful |
| 0:55.9 | and it's what keeps us alive, like writing a book. |
| 0:59.5 | And like we're going to be speaking out today, the desire to create is never ending. |
| 1:06.2 | So it is so important to even within those periods of inspiration and creativity that you |
| 1:12.2 | have to also find that stillness and pause to really be able to be in that infinity loop |
| 1:17.7 | of creation, reflection, creation, reflection is really how the magic happens and for the |
| 1:24.9 | long run. |
| 1:26.3 | So writing a book for me was that thing that just really set my soul on fire when I was |
| 1:34.0 | going through my health challenges and my body was shutting down because I went through |
| 1:38.8 | paramedicause when I was 21 years old and doctors kept prescribing me different medications |
| 1:44.0 | and no one really knew what was the root of my issues. |
| 1:48.7 | I discovered Ayurveda and healed myself through it and what allowed me to make sense |
