This smile is to say thank youuu! 🤗⁣

You might've seen my posts earlier in the summer about an ebook project. ⁣That was the first time I put myself out there as a writer you could hire, as opposed to what I normally do, which is a bunch of pitching behind the scenes. It was super scary, and after my 10 day challenge was complete I slumped down into emotional exhaustion! But I told myself back then, and I'm (belatedly) keeping my promise to myself now, that I'd say thank you to all of you lovely people who shared my posts in your stories and told your friends about me. Thank you to everyone who showed up and watched me hyperventilate live! ⁣
⁣
All of this support was spontaneous and genuine. It was encouraging and energised me to keep going, and now I want to say to you that if you're thinking of challenging yourself you should do it! You'll definitely surprise yourself, and you'll likely be surprised at the way your community shows up and supports you too. 💛⁣
⁣
P.S. If you're in need of content, or a content strategy, for your business, you can still shoot me a DM and we can talk about how I can help! Getting your thoughts out of your head and into a format we can work through them is the first step.

I've always had a difficult relationship with sleep, and stress exacerbates the problem. Last night I woke up seemingly for no reason, and stayed awake for a while. Usually I avoid going on my phone, choosing to wait it out or read instead, but I thought it might be good to mark the moment for the future. ⁣
⁣
These days are hard. I came to Scotland in January, and although I've met a few people, because of the pandemic building a community hasn't even begun to happen. It's September. That's eight months of loneliness and isolation and counting. Plus to be honest work plans repeatedly getting shut down or fizzling. So if you're struggling with being alone, if stress is keeping you up at night - I feel you. I know how much it sucks. No cheerful cliché here, just sitting with the truth for a moment. We can do that. ⁣
⁣
If you're like me and have trouble staying asleep all night, what do you do while you're awake? Have you made peace with the elusive nature of sleep or are you still trying to find the one routine or supplement that'll cure your ailments? I know I'm not alone, and I'm curious. Maybe we can swop stories. :)⁣

When was the last time you did something really un

When was the last time you did something really uncomfortable? A thing you endured because you believed it would be worth it? I went camel riding in the Thar Desert in northern India, and that was an almost painful ride. Imagine the camel’s humps poking you right in each sit bone, first one, then the other. Rocking back and forth high above the ground, no training wheels or safety rail. After about 10 minutes the novelty was so worn off I wondered if I felt any in the first place, but we still had miles to go! 😖⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We were headed for a spot in the middle of some sand dunes, and once we got there I could see why. The view was so much more interesting than flat desert, and we stayed and had dinner under the stars. As for the desert sunset? Majestic. I wasn’t mad at myself for camel riding after all.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
You know what’s not gonna be uncomfortable, and way more worth it? Writing an ebook with me! 😉 You’ll talk, I’ll listen. You tell me what you want to see happen and I’ll ask you the questions to take you there. I’ll go away for a week or so and work some ghostwriting magic ✨, and the next time we meet your book will be ready to go! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Today is the last day to sign up for this project, so if you’ve been waiting and wondering now’s the time to take action! DM me and let’s talk. 🙂⁣

You know what the best meal I had in India was? The one I cooked for myself. 💁🏾‍♀️👩🏾‍🍳Sounds unbelievable right, maybe a little obnoxious? It’s true! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
In the city of Udaipur, at the top of an uncomfortably tilting apartment building, I went to a cooking class led by this lady, Shashi. She guided me, a couple of Ukrainians and two French people in preparing a dizzying number of North Indian dishes in just a few hours. We started with masala chai and went from there through snacks, mains, a side and finished with a sweet paratha. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
At the end of the class we got to eat everything we cooked and it was soooo good. The kind of meal where you’re full but don’t want to stop tasting everything. Shashi made me feel like I was a master of Indian cuisine already, and all she had to do was show me where inside myself to look.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you’re thinking about writing an ebook but aren’t sure you have the tools inside you to create one, I’m here to help! If you’re running your own business, if friends consistently ask you for help on the same subject, then you’re an authority and the next best thing to do is get the word out! Collecting your expertise and making it available to a wider audience will do way more for you than any business card: you’ll be memorable, helpful and build a relationship all at once. 💥 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Send me a DM to talk about how we can strategically turn your expertise into words on a page. You may not be able to eat the words that we come up with, but you just might want to. 😉⁣⁣
⁣⁣
***I’m only offering this ebook for a few more days, so if you’ve been thinking about it now’s the time to get in touch!***⁣

Have you ever dreamed of going to India? It’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was a little girl, and finally got to do last summer. I had an incredible, emotional rollercoaster of a month, travelling up and down the western length of the country. Seeing the Taj Mahal for the first time definitely gave me a high. I was in awe of the architects, the builders, and the love at the heart of the story. I felt so much happiness and wonder I couldn’t stop myself from jumping with delight!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s easy to imagine how you’ll feel when you’ll finally get to go on holiday again, but how often do you imagine what it’ll feel like to make major moves in your business? Would you be delighted, empowered or energised if you…⁣⁣
⁣⁣
• watched your email list grow because you finally got that lead magnet up on your website?⁣⁣
• had a helpful gift to leave with listeners after an interview on a podcast, panel or wherever you find yourself asked to lead?⁣⁣
• formalised your intellectual property and laid the foundation for future money moves?⁣⁣
• told people that you wrote a mini book over the summer?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If any of those scenarios got you hyped, then we should talk. 😉⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This summer I’m going on an adventure with a few business owners to turn their expertise into an ebook, and we could make a great team! If you’re interested, DM me for the details, and if you know anyone who could be interested, share this post with them! And tell me, where are you dreaming of going once we can travel freely again? ⁣

I *love* podcasts.💙🎙How about you? If you listen to business podcasts you’ve probably noticed that the host and every single guest they interview has something tangible to share with you. Sometimes it’s a major NY Times bestseller, but other times it’s not quite so grand. Instead, you can go to their website and download an ebook that’s a guide to navigate industry challenges, learn systems hacks or otherwise get help for your life. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Once on this cool person's website you browse every page, learning about their services and wondering whether you want to take their course/join their Facebook group/hire them to solve your problem. You’ve entered their universe, happily, and you want to stay. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Now, instead of remembering what it’s like to be the listener/receiver, imagine yourself as the interviewee/giver. 𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 the one on a podcast, a panel or leading a workshop, and you don’t want your audience to forget about you once you leave. How do you keep their attention? How do you make sure they think of you when they’re ready to hire someone who does just what you do? The very same thing. Leave them with a treat! 🎁 Give them something helpful to use in their lives and remember you by, and you can be sure they’ll think of you when they’re ready to take that advice to the next level. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If this sounds good to you but you’re not quite sure how to strategise content for your ebook, or you’re not interested in sitting down to write it all yourself - I’d love to work with you! We’ll whip up your book in a few weeks flat and bam, you’ll wow yourself and have an irresistible magnet for everyone in your orbit. 📚 🧲 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
DM me for the deets and please comment with podcast recommendations. I’m always on the lookout for new ones. Current fave = Everything is Alive. 🤩⁣

Have you ever visited a website, signed up for a free ebook, and thought “Man, I need one of these”? What’s stopping you from having one? Is it… ⁣
1. 𝐍𝐨 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 - Every year the book makes your list of resolutions, but you’ve got so much else going on with work, family and other life things that before you know it December 31st is staring you in the face and the words are still in your head. ⁣
⁣
2. 𝐓𝐨𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐬 - You’re sure you’ll make the time to write…. once you decide what you should actually write 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵. Your mind is full of topics that you know will help your clients, but which one comes first? Analysis paralysis sets in and you never get to that first blank page.⁣
⁣
3. 𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 - You’ve chosen a topic and you’re so excited about it! You talk about it with your friends all the time and they agree it’s a great idea that’ll really get you some traction. But the blinking cursor taunts you and haunts you and eventually you realise that what you 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 need is a #6 from Wendy’s, so you’ll try again later. ⁣
⁣
4. 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐫 - The scary black weight that makes you question whether your ideas are good enough, whether you have enough experience and whether anyone will want to read what you have to say. It holds your mind and your motivation hostage, and you keep plugging away at life as usual. ⁣
⁣
If you read any of these and silently raised your hand, I can totally help! This summer I’m going to work with a few people to create their ebooks. We’ll take the advice you repeatedly give your clients, questions you’re always answering, and gems you’re always using to coach… and turn them into a lean, mean, lead generating machine. 💪🏾⁣
⁣
You can use your ebook to connect with your audience, grow your email list, and hand over like the ultimate business card. 🔥 ⁣
⁣
If this sounds like something you need send me a DM and I’ll share the details! (Camel not included.)
