A lot of people are in a dark place right now, not just in America, but around the world.
We are not meant to be isolated. We are not meant to feel powerless.
I know what it is like to spend over a decade feeling both. Now I feel nourished and connected in a deep intimate way. I feel at ease knowing my words connect with people around the planet. I am adding positivity.
Writing and creating heal all of those feelings of isolation and powerlessness. Even when memories of the past haunt me, writing, creating and doing what my intuition tells me leads me out of the shadows.
I know it seems like an inevitability of these times and the things the moment is calling us to do–but some of these negative feels are a state of mind.
Of course, you can feel bad because of the environment you find yourself in, and the situations you experience.
But it’s possible even in the worst possible moments, that you can do something to make yourself feel better.
Writing helps you connect to others–that’s what all art does if something else speaks to you.
It expresses your soul so that you can connect to the consciousness of another person.
That is POWERFUL.
That is BEAUTIFUL.
You are here to be powerful and make something beautiful, something that will change the world in some way.
All of us have a mark to leave on this Earth.
What is yours?
There is one place you can go that will always tell you the answers.
ASK YOUR SOUL.
Breath, put your hand on your heart and ask your physical body and the soft, quiet spirit inside of you, “What do I do next?”

The #1 key to making faster progress on all the goals that really matter…
Whether it is a book, a blog, a personal project, or passion, I want to help you to do that.
Really want to get something out of 2020 and use the last bit of the year to build towards creative projects that are really important to you?
Heads up: Addressing this one thing will help you soar.
I had to do this to pass massive milestones in the last year: publish my first book, draft another, play concerts in Japan, and ask out the man of my dreams (we have been together now for 10 months!).
Want progress? Here’s how to create more powerfully: FORGIVE YOURSELF.
People get triggered by that concept because it’s like I’m accusing you of doing something wrong.
Here’s the thing: we all do things wrong. If you really think you never did anything wrong in your whole life…well, I’m doubtful! Because that is what being human is.
As you grow, you let go of the past versions of yourself.
Forgiving yourself helps you move on and be the next evolution of who you are.
You must forgive yourself for the actions you have taken in the past to evolve.
You would be surprised at the huge shifts you can have when you release all of the energy that you use to make yourself wrong or make yourself feel bad.
Feeling guilt or feeling bad for doing something wrong is one way to approach things that doesn’t actually help you that much.
Punishing yourself and feeling bad supposedly serves you somehow to teach you to do better or to help you to be better to other people—but it isn’t the only way to change.
Why do you need to suffer in order to learn that lesson?
You could still enjoy life, and inspire others by being positive and loving.
When you feel better about yourself, you’re going to have more to give to other people. You will be more balanced.
Learn. Be different. Meanwhile, leave the baggage behind.
I have a free Ebook on how to use EFT tapping for self-forgiveness work.
If you want to make faster progress, I highly recommend this tool.
It’s so beautiful! I am so happy and excited to share the book with you.
Dark Legacies, Book 1 of the Blood Witch Series.
Coming March 2021
It’s up to Roxana to unravel dangerous secrets about her family, their farm, and the powers no one else wants her to claim.
In a world where magicians and witches practice covertly, “Boy-crazy” Roxana Tiernan just wants to earn her magic certificate from the elite Rosenthorne Academy, start a job as a hands-on healer, and pay off the family debt.
She thought the humiliation of flunking out would be her ultimate nightmare, but her nutty grandma says she never should have flunked, her mother’s death wasn’t an accident, and the people responsible for both are still out there.
Now it’s up to Roxy to find the truth. But the more she learns, the more her safety seems uncertain and everyone around her becomes suspicious—especially Julian Fletcher, persistent admirer and heir to the company.
As her family becomes more vulnerable to attack, who can she trust? Since no one she knows can guide her, she must unlearn everything she thought she knew to unlock her power…
Enjoyed by fans of Practical Magic, A Discovery of Witches, and the Secret Circle.

I’ve gone from feeling different and alone, to having a vibrant community of supportive people around me who really get me. ⠀
The key for me was writing–it’s helped me process many intense things that have occurred (and are occurring).
I want everyone to know what it is like to have people love what you have to share–even your innermost feelings, and thoughts that you don’t like sharing with others.
And writing is one of the least expensive ways to do that–all you need is paper and pen.⠀
There is a way to use writing to heal and connect to others it in a healthy way.
There also are common pitfalls to avoid.
Check out the live to empower yourself to be your creative best!
So you’ve been through a lot of crap–how do you know what to do next to be more creative and productive? Difficult emotions do make it more difficult to find clarity.
First off, knowing for sure that you want to do something scary can be really hard. If you grew up and you didn’t belong somewhere and you didn’t feel like it was okay to be yourself like me, then it can be really difficult to figure out what your heart is actually telling you to do.
It gets clouded and you may struggle to know, “What is my individual perspective? What is the thing that I really want to do? And can I give myself permission?” Cause it’s kinda terrifying.
Do you have clarity on this? If not, it sounds strange but maybe ask yourself WHY you’d want to do anything scary or difficult, generally (or not).
Do you ever convince yourself not to do something because it is scary? Or do you ever FORCE yourself to do something BECAUSE it is scary?
I’ll admit I’m the kind of person who has forced herself to do uncomfortable things my whole life. I asked my first boyfriend out over the phone, for instance, oh boy the nerves.
I used to be terrified all the time, and then I felt like I had no way out except to push myself to do scary things all the time. It’s led to some great things, but it’s also not ALWAYS the answer.
When is it good to push yourself to do scary things?
What I’ve learned is that while you figure out WHAT to do, you really have to ask yourself WHY you want something.
The reason WHY you do things is what really matters, especially if you’ve been through a ton of shit in your life.
Ask yourself, are you doing it for the right reason?
How do I do this? By writing!
Writing is a great tool to
A. Figure out what you are interested in doing and
B. Figuring out WHY you want to do it.
So give it a shot— write for a few minutes on your current goals and why they are so important.
Are they important to your heart–the deep down part of you at the core? Are they?
Or are you thinking about something and someone else? Let me know how it goes!
If you’re a writer and creator like me or an entrepreneur like me, then you know that there’s a whole lot of terrifying things that come with the journey. Facing the blank page. Needing things to look right to make videos. Self-promotion and marketing.
If you have any trauma, an inner critic, or anything that comes up, it’s really hard to move through it. But it can be really good—it can grow you and even heal some of your wounds to face your fears.
Or it can be bad. You can get negative feedback on a story and never work on it again. You can post something and then immediately regret it and delete it. (Know what I’m talking about anyone?) You can sing on stage and bomb–and you can let all these things stop you forever if you like.
As someone who has dropped many balls and picked many back up, I have some thoughts on how to avoid getting overly crushed and traumatized along your journey as a writer or creator.
What’s really important is to set yourself up before you even do the thing: you need to know more than WHAT you want to do, but you also need to know WHY you want it–that’s what makes all the difference. I’ll be posting more on this tomorrow!
For now I wonder: Do you have clarity on what you want to write or create next, or are you still figuring it out?
The world is crazy. Everything is not as it’s supposed to be—and I think it’s a great opportunity to try to get out of our box, do something new.
Is there something a little challenging that you haven’t done before? Can you dare to reach a new height, or achieve a new goal?
I know that the times are upsetting and that can slow you down, but don’t stop trying. I believe it’s possible.
This August I published Freedom Year, which was my fourth #NaNoWriMo book. I also wrote another manuscript, and now I’m prepping to write the 2nd book in the same paranormal romance series.
I never thought I would write romance and I’m so stoked to be writing a fiction series after slaving over my memoir Freedom Year for years. That was heavy–I wrote about traumatic things–glad I did it and pressed publish finally.
This is big stuff for me. And I know that your thing is possible no matter what is going on around us.
But we just have to kind of try it differently, you know? Give yourself freedom to be WEIRD and MESSY–and just try.
I’m trying an experiment where I model what I teach to my clients about experimenting so you can make faster progress on creative projects. And I’m doing it in my social media, blog, and email newsletter!
I have new program and line-up of services to help you or someone like you to write and create more of the most important stuff you can make. And, you know, I’ve been working through my own stuff.
The year 2020 has been incredibly intense for me. I’m sure it has for many, many people, but for me, I have had so many emotional wounds triggered. So many traumas triggered, so much worry and stress and like intensity, but at the same time I’ve been making awesome progress: I published Freedom Year. I’m sending my new book Dark Legacies, Book 1 of the Blood Witch Series to the editor this week, and planning to write Winter Bound: Book 2 in November. That’s 3 books in one year.
We can all make awesome progress in 2020 even if it’s a crazy time. And now it’s almost #NaNoWriMo or #NationalNovelWritingMonth which is a 30 day social movement to write a novel by the end of the November. I’m seeing this as a great opportunity for me to help more people by being more out there and just connecting, being myself and being free to use social media as an experiment.
I believe that in order to break patterns sometimes we need to do something WEIRD. Break the pattern! I personally have just been processing a lot of stuff, and it can lead to perfectionism.
Luckily with writing this year I set myself up with tons of support and deadlines, so I don’t let perfectionism stop me, but I haven’t always updated my social media, my site, and online properly. I feel I am not showing up with all of what I can offer the world, honestly, and I want to announce more of the goodness I have to teach.
So I vow to let go of perfectionism and trust myself. I will let myself get things out, even if they’re a little bit messy. So forgive me in the future. If you see a video with talking in the background or bad lighting, or a sales page looks wonky—I’m just trying to let go of it needed to be perfect. I’m just going to let it out.
Let’s do this together. We can all win. We can all play, write, or create something. Now. Even if the world is crazy.
Hoping to share your completed book with other people after you finish the challenge?
If you want people to read your book and enjoy it, then you need a plan EVEN if you hate plotting.
Having done years of Nanowrimo I can say that the only way to end with a good book is to spend time planning your book before you start.
The problem is that some of us, including myself, don’t quite belong—we are the pantsers.
Pantsers write ‘by the seat’ of their pants, discovering the story as they go along without knowing the full picture of where the story is going.
If you are a pantser like me, you hate staring at a screen trying to organize your outline. It doesn’t have to be that way!
What if there were some way to have the best of both worlds– to create a plan that allows enough freedom to write and feel spontaneous while also keeping you on track to create a crisp story that makes sense.
And what if you could learn this method with 1-1 assistance and apply it to your book in 3 hours?
Maybe you are like me— I like writing to be fun, but I hate analyzing my story. I want to stay in my character’s shoes and focus on what I feel like writing about each moment. I want to let the story take me on a ride.
So many writers advised that I outline my book first, but it just felt wrong. And stifling.
Luckily, through trial and error I discovered a method for planning a book that is completely different from anything you’ve ever learned.
I’m pleased to introduce my latest offering: the Mastering Intuitive Outlining Breakthrough Day.
