Here what past participants have to say about my writing group for mermaids-at-heart:

“I have accomplished so much this summer, and I’ve been writing a lot of different things and having a lot of breakthroughs in the area of ease and flow. I’ve been putting a lot less pressure on myself around what I need to get done. It doesn’t need to be difficult. Thank you for this beautiful space.”

-Kate Burkett, Inner Beauty and Founder of Kate in Paradise

“Sofia Wren is awesome! She had an amazing writing course that I got to take and it was OUTSTANDING. I learned a lot, and (I’ve been writing since I was 12) and she gave so many helpful tips.

I really enjoyed so much of my time with her, she is an incredible person, it was a no judgement zone, and I write novels on the more… interesting side. So to see this kind of thing, it was amazing.

I don’t have enough words to describe this incredible human being!”

-Lisa van der Wilt, Author, VA, and Multi-passionate Biz Owner

I could not figure out what was missing in my business. I knew I had all the information. I knew I had the skills. I really pressured myself forward. And that put me into full stop mode and nothing worked anymore. There was procrastination. I wasn’t fired up. There’s so much to do and it’s just frustrating. You have to do it, you should do it, but you just can’t seem to get yourself to do it.

Since joining the mermaid group, I’ve started to realize that you cannot force it, it’s not one straight line. It all comes together, it all flows together. I’m in the flow. It’s working.

-Uli Dieter, Health & Wellness Coach

If you sign up now, your writing program will include $3464 worth of support at 84% off, plus

I’m really passionate about helping people like you to put yourself, your ideas and your work out into the world–

to write for your book or a business–

but to approach your life differently, too,

because for me the most important thing is the courage to be yourself first in ALL areas.

I really enjoy helping people to see the value in ALL that they are, and spin that into words so other people can really see it too, with little gleams and stars in their eyes.

And I like teaching you how to do it.

I want you to get hooked on sharing from your heart so that you never stop.

That’s what happened to me.

I got addicted when I learned that I could transform other people’s lives with my stories and insight.

That’s what hooked me 10 years ago. At that point I was hiding the real essence of who I was and I didn’t want anyone to find me.

My writing was a secret up for a decade up until that point.

I knew if I ever wanted to publish my book and have it be read,

or if I was going to be successful at working for myself as a business owner,

that I needed to CONNECT WITH PEOPLE and market myself.

I couldn’t hide and expect that to happen.

I could take time to prepare but eventually had to put myself out there.

It felt risky but one day I took a chance. I published a blog called How I became a Witch and a Writer.

I identify now as less of a witch, and more as a mermaid, but this was then. Declaring this story in front of the world was a special thing for me.

I really put myself out there in a vulnerable way. I was scared to press that publish button!!

But the story was crafted well and it was well received.

In the end, other people told me it inspired them to be more themselves.

I was stunned. Wow. Just wow:

I was more me, and it made other people’s lives better, too.

It felt way TOO GOOD. Too good not to keep doing.

As a result of this, I came out of the shadows permanently.

And that is why I continue to be passionate about helping other people to get writing done (in a beautiful, courageous way!) and out into the world…

Which includes writing for your book or business in a way that draws people to you.

Since then, rather than try to hide my writing, I’ve been aiming to get it in front of as many people as possible.

And for every person that reads it, I want to help in the deepest way I can.

So I keep stretching.

When you are on the path to embrace the courage to be yourself first, and to serve other people in a deeper way, the journey is never over!

There is always another edge, another challenge–

-another idea to share

-another story to tell

-another offer to make for a business

Another way to grow and another person to serve.

I’m not done, and, I suspect, neither are you.

We are the same that way–

And that’s why writing groups are awesome.

I love, love, love the Writing Groups that I have been leading over the last ten years, because they inspire ME and I get to help others.

We are all in this together.

We all have things inside that we want to share.

And I fully respect what you have inside is unique and valuable–as valuable as what’s in me.

It’s a win win!!

And let me say…

Over the last 20 years I have learned a lot about writing, storytelling, capturing attention, and copywriting–

Which I teach in my group.

I’ve sold things in my business through writing and helped other people do the same. I’ve published my book, numerous articles, and edited what became bestsellers.

I would love to share HOW to write and help other people in a bigger way with your book or business.

I’d love to get in the trenches with you, provide feedback and answer your questions–

help you figure out what to write so it moves people in a big way, or even brings in clients for you.

But remember at the heart of everything I hope to share with you–

whether you join the Winter Writing Group when it opens on November 17th or not–

This is my transmission:

THE COURAGE TO BE YOURSELF FIRST.

Yes, mermaid, I see you!

There is a beautiful part of you that may be locked away and I am here to help it unfold!

Take this energy, it is yours. You can have it and share it, too.

It doesn’t belong just to me, it is for all of us.

Trust me. This is the key.

Now LET’S do this!

PS. The Winter Writing Group is for free-spirits & entrepreneurs who want to write for their business, website, copywriting, content, or book!
​

There are only 8 spots open right now.

I’ve intentionally made the price accessible so the people who need this can get this.

Last time we filled up!

You’ll also get a surprise thank you gift.

​

I’m having fun over here and I’m trying to crack myself up at all times. Things are going pretty good to that end. How about you?

Let’s be real. Life can be FULL of disappointments but I truly believe that humans are incredible.

We can create good out of almost any situation. Or create beauty. You get me.

Don’t forget you have the POW-ah. That’s my 90s way of saying power, and it is more fun, and probably also involves wearing a costume.

Did you leave your costume behind somewhere or are you wearing it today?

Anyway, I wanted to write you a note because I realized I forgot something!

I wrote an article recently and whoops, I forgot to mention it!

How to Use the Internet for Deeper Connection

Here is a taste:

If you’ve been online, then you’ve probably had experiences that have made you feel uncomfortable or disconnected. You’ve visited dark corners where people shout negative comment after negative comment. You put yourself out there, got crickets back or responses that didn’t make you feel great.

But what if the internet could help you create new or better connections with other people? What if, instead of feeling like the internet was just a place to consume alone, it could be a place for real and deeper relationships to form?

Having been a blogger for 20 years and coaching other people to write and share online for 10, I firmly believe this is true. The internet can be a magical place.

I myself have benefited from the friendships I’ve formed through sharing and communicating online. I get to work with people who are my friends that also became clients. I’ve shared personally online and had my heart expand like the Grinch from all those beautiful connections.

You can shift the things that you put out online through your website or social media, so that you are inviting a deep response from people who really get you.

They are out there, but first you need to send out the bat signal!

To do this requires intention, but if you’ve been despairing that your web presence is messed up or not working–read on for what to do next to make a big change in your results.

Check the rest of the article in the On Purpose Woman Magazine: https://opwgc.com/magazine/

OR if you’d prefer to watch a video on a similar topic, you can see this one here.

PS. This blog took me just a few minutes to write and I had fun.

…are you overthinking your writing?

Do you want it to be easy to write for your book, website, emails, or posts?

Do you have a desire to serve more people with 1-1 services, classes, or the things you create?

Writing MORE and making it FUN will help you reach more soul-mate clients so you can help them in a deeper way and get paid, too.

It doesn’t have to be hard! Get that writing flowing as smoothly as a mermaid swims in a low-pressure environment.

Join us for the next oh-so-good-feeling “Writing Group for Business Mermaids” 

If you want to feel more free, fun, carefree and magnetic as you write and share your message, the mermaid group awaits you.

It’s been a gorgeous fall week over here, and whatever your climate, I hope you are getting some good weather where you are.

I’m also preparing to open enrollment for the Winter Writing Group for Business Mermaids.

There have been some big changes since the last time I ran a writing group in the summer.

One of them is some differences in the price and what is included, so keep an eye out for an announcement on November 17th.

Another thing that is different is my philosophy around helping people to write for their book or business–

I don’t think it helps anything to make people feel bad about how their writing is going (or not going).

I think all my clients are perfectly capable of feeling discouraged and getting stuck without me saying anything, and I don’t want to go down that road.

I want to make it more mermaid.

When I check how my clients are doing, I’m very gentle.

Rather than linger on the past or poke people in an uninvited way about their goals—

I’m here to bring the mermaid vibes, the excitement, and the playfulness so you want to write.

Set goals because you want to, not out of obligation.

I’m here to help explore what your soul wants and if it is rest sometimes, I think that’s the priority.

My priority is to help you thrive as a human being who deserves a life, too.

I’m here to believe you, your feelings, and your thoughts.

When you change your mind about something I won’t throw what you said a month ago in your face.

The only thing I don’t believe is anything that suggests you are not enough.

I’m here to celebrate the progress you forgot about.

I’m here to remind you that you are capable and you can do it your way.

I’m here to think outside the box and make this fun.

YES, There IS value in looking back and see what kind of progress you are making.

It’s amazing what you can forget if you don’t write it down and look at those notes later.

But it seems to be the default for people to look back, see what they have achieved, think, “It’s not enough progress,” and get stuck.

This is human, but I’m invited you to be more than human:

MORE MERMAID.

MORE MERMAID NOW!

No one needs to make it heavy. Let’s loosen up. It’s just information.

We have to keep going and every minute we spend thinking about what we didn’t do in the past is going to be wasted energy if it doesn’t result in a shift.

So make sure to give yourself lots of love, check in with you as you–

You and not who you think you are supposed to be.

You and not how much you ‘should’ have accomplished.

You and your unique self.

Where are you at? What do you need, starting now?

The past is gone, the present is now.

And remember if you need help to write–

it doesn’t have to mean that you are a slacker

or you are being lazy

or you are not good enough on your own

or you are not a good writer

What it means is that you are awesome!

What it means is you have a DESIRE.

The people who will join the Winter Writing Group have a DESIRE to learn to write for their business or book in an even more awesome way that’s easier and more fun.

Whether it is time, money, or something else you are putting into your self, your dream, and your goals–

the person who goes after this is a SUPERHERO not a slacker.

People who move towards what they need to become more beautiful, fun, flowing people are…

AWESOME!

Sending you lots of love, courage & mermaid vibes,

Sofia Wren

PS. The Winter Writing Group for Business Mermaids is a safe place to share a writing goal or even to remain goal-less if that is what your heart desires.

If you want to attract more of the people you are here to serve and you need to do writing to do it (like for your website, book, emails or blogs), you can join starting November 17th to get it done in a more fun and flowing way. Join the newsletter to find out more.

Phew! I am alive with creative ideas right now, as I work hard on transforming my 7 Layer Writing course into a paid program! It is getting me really excited.

Here’s a taste of the “let’s do this” energy I am channeling right now.

YOUR IDEAS MATTER
YOUR BOOK NEEDS TO BE HERE
YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS TO BE HERE

Don’t get hung up on yesterday, or that you are behind or that something is not good enough, just believe what I am saying here. (See above)

Focus on it, concentrate it and that is doing the most powerful thing when it comes to making it happen in real life.

Because if you doubt it, if you hang in negativity, it won’t ever get done. And if it’s not your priority, that is your choice. You can change your mind any time.

YOU MATTER. What you think and feel and dream and fear matters.

Now what? Easy. Just act like it. Don’t ignore what you know.

If you need help figuring out what that all this really means for you, there you go. You’re actually asking the right questions. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Put a pen in your hand and go write about whatever is unclear or confusing or hard.

Let me know how it goes.

xo Love & courageous mermaid vibes,

Sofia Wren

PS. It can be hard to literally sit down and write by yourself. Writing with a live group can really help. If you want to help people and you need to do writing for your business like your website, book, emails or blogs, then contact me or join the waitlist for the next Writing Group

​

Hope you are doing well! Yesterday I walked miles in a corn maze. And walked several miles in a park the day before. The weather was so so nice.

I was reading Chop Wood Carry Water this weekend and came across this quote from Teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castenada:

“I warn you. Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question. This question is one that only a very old man asks. My benefactors told me about it once when I was young, and my blood was too vigorous for me to understand it. Now I do understand it. I will tell you what it is: Does this path have a heart?

The trouble is that nobody asks the question; and when a man finally realizes that he has taken a path without a heart, the path is ready to kill him. At that point very few men can stop to deliberate, and leave the path.

For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length.

And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly. “

Carlos Castenada

This really spoke to me.

When I started my business, I wanted to be able to write more and help people, while controlling my schedule.

But I wasn’t making any actual money for a while.

After working 50-hour weeks, for a year or so, with very little to show for it, I began trying something else.

It ended up changing everything.

I started writing letters to the soul of my business. I was inspired by Hiro Boga, who says that everything in the universe has a spirit or deva.

“What do I do so that my business makes money? How do I write more, be of service, and come into the full expression of my purpose?” I asked.

I imagined what my business would say.

My business told me to take walks.

I was like, “What??? How will this help?”

But it was like when I used to manage small businesses–when the boss tells you to do something, you just do it.

So I went off on my walks, and it’s just like the quote above–

• Trying every strategy to grow my business,
• Signing up for every course or template I could get my hands on,
• Spending hours posting on social media, doing this or that…
  

was “a path without a heart.”

As the quote says:

At that point very few men can stop to deliberate, and leave the path.

The chasing was putting me into a fight or flight state of stress where I kept thinking I just needed to do, do, do more.

I was spinning, spinning, and felt urged to do similar things but MORE.

BUT REALLY I need to pause and reassess my direction.

I needed to stop chasing outside advice so much and really tune into my soul and the soul of my business.

I needed to slow down so I could find a new path, full of heart…

These are all things that made no sense to me at all. I resisted them for a long, long time.

But eventually I learned more ways to do this and through practice and repetition, it became a way of life.

These days, I spend a lot more time off social media because I realized that paying attention to it for 50 hours a week was not growing my business or helping my mental health.

I found ways that work for me to use it in balance, along with a lot of other things that help my business.

And I actually make money! Yay.

And help people! Yay!

And work on my own creative writing projects! Double yay!

The way I do business is also designed to grow my soul,

to improve my creativity so I can write on my own projects,

to be less consuming so I can have a beautiful life,

to make space for what is important to me.

My business has made me a better person.

What is my business telling me lately?

I’m feeling called to help other people to make a shift in their business.

If you want to serve others as a coach, healer or creator, it is possible to serve more people in a win-win way and enjoy your life, too.

Here’s how:

First, if you haven’t signed up yet for the free writing class, it is going to become a paid course on October 27th. See here for the course!

Learn how to tap into your genius and write so your business website, content and book flow better. They’ll be more enjoyable and more effective in connecting to the people you are here to serve.

Second, the Winter Writing Group will be dedicated to helping you to make the shifts that will change or grow your business for the better!

Not only will it help you write the words you need for your site, content or book, but it will help you connect to your inner genius and the soul of your business, so you make conscious decisions that are a win win for you and your clients.

We will be getting a group of sparkly mermaids together to write together, take pause together, create and brainstorm together.

To really focus on what to do next to expand and serve others in a deeper way.

We will be taking the path of heart at every turn even if we don’t totally understand why…

(Because that’s how genius work!)

It starts in December and runs through March 2023.

I’m excited for it! And I know it’s going to grow me, too.

Looking forward to telling you more as that gets closer, and for now enjoy your day!

Join the waitlist to hear when the next Writing Group opens.

I wanted to share how my self-study writing course helped someone this past month.

It also shows why writing like you are talking to a friend works so well, in contrast to writing “like you are supposed to” and professionally.

I heard from an entrepreneur who helps people with meditation. Every one can use meditation so there are a lot of people they can help.

She took some business courses before where they advised her to pick one client avatar for her business. That advice did not feel right at all and she had a physical reaction that made her want to stop the course.

There are many people she likes to help so she felt conflicted. She’s working on a website and blog and wants to make sure it is authentic.

After going through my 7 layer writing course for people on a mission to serve others, she really liked the way I explained how she could write to multiple kinds of people, not just one.

Since then, she felt inspired to picture her clients and write letters to them, which produced writing she could possibly turn into blog posts.

She liked that it was okay to write to different people. It still felt like she was going deep enough to help them–versus writing to everyone in the whole world at once in a more shallow way.

She also felt more inspired to write in her own voice (so that it really and authentically sounds like her). She said I model that well in the course with the way I write in it.

It makes me so happy to empower people to feel more comfortable writing in your own voice.

Whether it is for your business, your website, or your book–

when you have the courage to be yourself first and put that beautiful, bright light into your writing,

it is so much more FUN for you to write and for everyone else to read.

People can get to know you and you will attract more readers and clients who really get you!

I know that typical business advice can be very sterile and not feel good–and writing so professionally like you are “supposed to” is super boring!

If you break the rules, it makes things more exciting.

Case in point:

About 15 people have signed up for the email version of the course (which is optional since you can access all the lessons for free here),

and so far my average open rate for these emails is 61%

That is high considering it includes over 10 emails.

I think people want to open my emails so consis is because I’m committed to honoring my flow so I’m having fun writing it. I also intentionally write to you in “friend-speak” not in a boring professional way.

Plus the content is pretty darn good!!

Any who, if you haven’t checked out this super-affordable course yet, give it a look.

I think you’ll like it and it might just give you the creative breakthrough you need to write for your site, business or book.
