Vanessa Villalobos

It was SUCH a joy to speak with my writing mentor & bestselling author, Beth Kempton, who is an award-winning entrepreneur and producer of online courses, a Reiki Master, a yoga teacher, a mama of two young girls, and a self-help author whose books have been translated into more than 25 languages.

Even if you don't have a copy of her book 'Wabi Sabi', you would likely recognise it from it's gorgeous pale green cover... I see it in practically every book shop, gift shop & boutique! 

I loved speaking with Beth about what the pandemic revealed about the true nature of things, her fifth book 'The Way of the Fearless Writer', as well as this small but significant details of what tea & toast she likes best when she gets up to write at 5am!

In this episode we chat about:

  • The significance of 'Wabi Sabi' in a post pandemic world!
  • Why we always use pencil in diaries
  • The correct pronunciation of the word 'gaseous'🤯
  • Why we should make a list of things we do for ten minutes every day
  • The joy of Japanese stationary & best writing notebook tips
