Becoming The ONE
Have you ever felt like you're auditioning for a role you've already earned? Like you're somehow the understudy in your own life story? That feeling of waiting for permission to fully show up is exactly what we're dismantling in this raw, honest exploration of what it truly means to "become the one."
This isn't about a superficial makeover or chasing some elusive achievement. Becoming the one is a homecoming, a return to your authentic self and a daily recommitment to standing in your power. It's about shedding the beliefs that have kept you discounting your books, waiting for "perfect" conditions, and mistaking chaotic hustle for productive chemistry. When you declare "I am the one," you fundamentally shift how you approach your creative work and how the world responds to it.
I'm sharing my current journey through this transformation, including the terrifying but necessary process of shedding clients, income streams, and business models that no longer align with my highest purpose. The universe has responded with unexpected abundance through surprise book sales, affiliate payments, and new opportunities arriving precisely when needed. This isn't coincidence; it's what happens when you trust without doubt that you're supported in following your creative calling.
For writers especially, this mindset shift is revolutionary. When you create from a place of pure joy rather than desperate hustle, your work resonates more deeply. Your ideas flow more freely. Your unique voice becomes magnetic. So carry your own crown into every room, move before you're validated, and remember: your voice, your truth, your power. You are the one.

Hello and welcome back to another chapter of the Daring Author podcast. I am so excited because today I'm going to be talking on something that I am currently processing, that I am currently going through, and what perfect timing to do this recording while I'm actually going through it, because it's much more potent. You can get like what is actually happening now and that is all about becoming the one. So what does it even mean like becoming the one? It really is all about, like you're not waiting for permission anymore, you're remembering who you are, you're remembering your bloodlineline. Like becoming the one isn't a makeover, it's like a homecoming, remembering who you are and becoming the one. It's. It's an identity choice and something that you recommit to daily. And it's not like, not about something that you win or something that you've got to chase or anything like that. It's just really coming back and choosing the identity, that I'm the one. And there's so much potency in that, so much in like just the energy around becoming the one. Like, when I say it, I'm just like hell yeah, hell yeah, let's do it. So I think something that I do want to talk about like if you really feel like you're still auditioning for rooms you've already outgrown. You're like you're the understudy in your own life. It's like your moment to really switch from chasing algorithms to serving serving your other people's like opinions, serving other people's beliefs what other people think that you should do. And it's really about like doing no more.
Speaker 1:I want to get into like some examples of this. Like no more discounting your art, discounting your books to be seen more or to make more sales, because that is all a mindset thing in around. Like, oh, if I reduce my book to 99 cents, I'm going to make more sales. It's like no. Like people are willing to pay the premium price for your book because you are the one. You believe in your art, you believe in your words, you believe in what you have put out there your book. You know it's amazing, you know you're the one for that one person, if you think of even one person that reads your book and how much of an impact it makes on them.
Speaker 1:And there's no more waiting for perfect conditions there's never a perfect time, there's never a perfect way. Or thinking, oh, once I get to this stage, then I'll be able to do this, or once I have this much income, then I'll be this particular author. Or I'll be up with like the best-selling authors, and I'll be on this stage and blah, blah, blah. No more waiting for that. Like you are the one, you are the one, and there's no more mistaking like chaos for chemistry. I am so over chaos. I am so over just like doing a million things and let's get shit done and be in this like hectic, hustle, whatever phase. No, I am shredding that and I am moving into more ease, more flow, more space, more time to actually live my life, more creative expression. And let me tell you, when you go from that place, the ideas hit, the creativity hits, the story beats, the new ideas, all of the things hit so much better when you are in your best headspace, when you are in your zone. That is when it will convert so much better.
Speaker 1:I want to do like a bad boy. Take Now, I write a lot of dark romance, bad boys, all of that. So there's something that I wanted to share on that doing a bad boy tag. Consistency is the real kink. Flaky is out. Devotional is it? You can call him daddy, you can call him whatever you want to call it, but devotion is in. Devotion is the king in this.
Speaker 1:We are no longer accepting the little, playing small, being little, trying to fit into a box, trying to fit into a circle, playing this small author phase, or it's just a hobby. Or it's just a hobby or it's just a thing that I do. No, you are the one. You are the one. You build that confidence. You share what you're writing, you share with, like this is what I write and I love what I do, and from that energy, that is what connects to other people and that is what connects to the audience that are going to be like, oh my God, I don't even know what this is about, but whatever you're selling, I'm in, I want it, I need it, and that that is like the most beautiful thing. And this is what I'm going through at the moment, like becoming the one. And let me tell you like there is so much shedding that is going on in my life. And let me tell you there is so much shedding that is going on in my life there is so much business changes with where I am moving forward with the Daring Press and the evolution of the business there that I am just so excited about Bringing in the dream team.
Speaker 1:I did a recording and, if you go a couple of episodes back about hiring my dream team and the process around that, the intention around that and what a journey it has been. And we are in the process now of, like I have invited in the team, the contracts are getting set up and it is the absolute dream team and what I am building and the desires and I think, going into. In August we had the Lionsgate portal, which was like a astrology type thing going on and one of the things that I put in there was super clear on the desires that I want to bring forward and the desires of like how I want to live, moving forward, how I want to be and really stepping into becoming the one. And universe listened oh boy is she delivering.
Speaker 1:And it's in a way that does feel scary, that does feel fear, like I put really clear intention that I am no longer accepting and no longer wanting to live this way and no longer wanting to run business this certain way and so with that there's so much that needs to go, so much shedding, and that means losing clients in my other business. That means stepping back from certain roles and that is scary. I will say that is scary because it is income, that is a lot of money, but holding myself in that process, holding myself in that I know I'm going to be okay. I know that I am always supported. I am always held. I am always supported by the universe, by whatever way, whatever you believe in, I have the pathways open for money to come in in other ways that feel so much more easeful and is not about time for money and the input that I make.
Speaker 1:I had a really big belief around the input that I have, like working really hard, putting in the hours, will create money, and I have been given so much evidence of that not being the fact that not being the truth for me, that the more that I actually step away, the more that I actually am living in joy, when I am filling my own cup, when I am in that just creativity that feels so good in the work that I do, when I'm feeling in, like you know, when you do the work, do certain work, and you just like, time goes away, everything vanishes. You're in the zone. It's what you're here to do and most of you that are listening that will be writing. That will be your area where you really love, and then it can be other areas of that particular, you know, as an author in that business, you might really love creating the content or connecting with your audience and you just love being in that community area and you love connecting and all of that, those places and the things that you do when you feel that way, and I know what that feels like and now I am not settling for anything other than that, working from a place of pure joy, and that it feels good and it challenges me in the best way possible, where I'm just like I need to, I need to figure this out and anything that is not is getting shedded, it is getting ripped out from underneath me and I have to hold myself in that of like. I asked for this, this is the desire, this is what I put in there, because this is what I desire, and it is all actually happening and things are moving, things are shifting and even if I don't look for evidence but that even come through of like I am going to be supported in.
Speaker 1:When I was stepping back from clients and more, yeah, one-on-one work that I do in my other business, I was like, oh my God, and normally old me would have been like in pure panic mode. Oh my God, I got to feel this and I need to work out and I need to put these out. And I was just like, trust, trust, receive. And oh boy, did I receive that day the orders flying in for book sales, the inquiries that I got, the random refunds that I got into my PayPal account, the affiliate payment where I was like I didn't even know that I shared this link to someone that purchased a thing, and then I got like a $500 refund refund or no refund, but a payment for that and I was just like, ah, thank you, thank you for that sign that I am always supported.
Speaker 1:And I think when you do this work, when you do the work that you absolutely love and you trust, you trust without a doubt, that you are supported, that you asked for this, like I know where I'm going, I know the desire, I know what I'm here to do and to have that vision and to have just even for us, as writers, to have this gift, that we have found our passion, we have found our thing that we we love doing and what feels so good like that is a gift on its own. Not a lot of people have found their thing yet that you know. People are searching and trying to find what. What's their purpose in this life? What? What is the thing that they want to do? And if you are still in that, or if you're like I know that I'm a writer, chase that, chase that. If you know deep in your bones and your soul that this is what you're here to do, do it, go for it, it will all work out. Have trust, have faith. It is all going to work out because we are supported and we will never, we'll never get let down and there is just something just beautiful about that.
Speaker 1:And and I know from past experience that I know sometimes it can feel quite hard when the money's not coming in or there's no evidence, and it's like stop looking for the evidence and just literally surrender, fully surrender. You are open to receive, you are open to allowing this to happen. You are open. You are not in this phase of the opposite, of like trying to force, because anything that we do try and force and try and make happen in like a forcible, pushy way, it won't happen.
Speaker 1:It's when we are in that phase of living our life in pure gratitude, that phase of living our life in pure gratitude, pure joy, when we are really grateful for the things that we do have and we are open to receiving and we are open to what is coming next and we are building and we are creating from that space. That feels just too good to be true. When you're in that zone, when you're in that creative genius zone, like that is when, like, the magic happens, that is when it all comes alive. Okay, some things I want to leave you with from this episode is a few little affirmations, a few little mantras, and they are I am the one I set the standard, I am the source, I move before I'm validated. I carry my own crown into every room. My voice, my truth, my power, I am. You are the one.
