Devotion To Your Book

If you are ready to stop waiting and start writing, this message is for you.

In this transmission, I speak about devotion what it really means to commit to your story, your words, and the Authoress within you. Not from force or discipline, but from a deep, soul-led devotion to what you know matters.

Your story is alive inside you. She is asking to be written.

In this video, you will learn:

• What devotion to your book actually looks like
• How to show up for your story every single day
• Why there is no such thing as writer's block
• How to write from co-creation, not pressure
• Why your book needs you now, not one day

There is no perfect first draft. There is only the next word. And you are ready.

This is Day Three of The Authoress, a 3-day soul-led initiation for women ready to write their story. If you feel the pull, it is time. Say yes.

Ready to go deeper? The Authoress Mastermind is now open. Six months devoted to writing your book. First cohort begins 9 March 2026.

Welcome Back And Recap

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hello and welcome back to day three of the authores, the initiation. We have the final day. I have my free coffee here. I love the loyalty card. When you get your free coffee, there is just no better feeling. You're going in like I get my free coffee today. So that's a vibe. It is a Friday. Love my Fridays, and we are going into day three. So want to do a little quick recap on what we've gone through so far. So day one was very much about the spark and saying yes to the book, saying yes to your book, to your story. That was a magical, magical day when you said yes and you claimed it. You said yes to your book. That was a spark. That was day one. Then day two was very much around the identity, claiming the title of the author, of the authoress, claiming her, being in the identity. You are her. You already said yes to the book. That's when you become an author. That was day two, identity, and that shifted something with how you show up, how you write, how this story forms from here. It is so exciting. And day three, day three is all about devotion. Which just fits perfectly as a day three and the final day of this three-day experience. Devotion. And when I say devotion, I mean like totally 100% devoted to your book. You said yes, you accepted the offer, you said yes to your book, you stepped into the identity of the authors, and now it's time for devotion. To devote yourself 110% to your book, your story, your words, because they matter. You matter, your words matter, your story matters, and your voice and what you've gone through and what you've experienced and what your story is, it is special, it is unique. It is you. You are the one, you are the authores, and now we're gonna go into devotion to your story. Now devotion devotion is not force. There's a difference between what I think of devotion compared to more so like discipline and like forced energy. When I think of devotion, it doesn't need to be X amount of hours, X amount of words, X amount of this. It just means that you are a hundred percent devoted to your book and your story because you know how much it matters to you. You have stepped into the identity, you've said yes, and now you are devoted to your book. You want to bring it to life in the way that feels the best for you. It's like a relationship, right? It's a relationship with your story, with your words, with your voice. You've got you're stepping into a relationship here. Bestie vibes, whatever type of relationship you like. But I like to think of it as like bestie vibes. You've said yes to the book. Now we're walking hand in hand, bestie vibes with the book. We are vibing, we are moving, we are going for it, and we are co-working together and co-working, co-writing, co-creating. That's the word I was looking for. C C C C C lots of C there. But that is it. Being in co-creation with your book and your story, and that means like each day spending time on your book, like a relationship, going out on dates with your book, with your story, and this is what's gonna build, this is what is gonna build your book and your story, not one day, not oh tomorrow when I have more time, oh next week, because that will never come. If we're fully devoted to our book, our story, we can spend 15 minutes, literally 15 minutes every single day, a few words, and that can be writing it out on your laptop or your phone or speaking it out, using your voice. There's multiple ways to write your story. Google Docs, opening it up, typing it out in your notes section. The inspiration is gonna come the way that you're living and experiencing and where you are in that moment. The words will come and they'll drop when you're out on a walk, when you're picking your kids up from school, when you're at the swimming pool, when you're out for lunch, when you're in the middle of the night, I don't know, any situation, the words are gonna drop and come, write it out. That is like that is your devotion. You've said yes, and the words are gonna come, they're gonna keep coming, coming, coming, and it's your job to write it out in whichever form. There are so many different ways, and this is not a step-by-step how-to, but that's the devotion every day, at least 15 minutes on your story, your book, and devotion is what really separates it from one-day energy to we're in this. This is the start of the story, we're co-creating, we're writing, this is it, we're doing it, no matter what. We've said yes. We can't if you said yes to a date, if you've said yes to be a bridesmaid at your best friend's wedding, if you said yes to be a godparent, whatever it is, would you break that? Would you say, no, I can't do that anymore? No, you're totally devoted to that, you're stepping up as that. So that is what your book desires from you. And the story is alive, it is alive inside of you, and she is asking to be written. She's asking you to pick up the pen and let's go. You are the authoress, and this is what begins today. And devotion doesn't look like hours and hours, might be 10 minutes, 15 minutes before the whole house wakes up, might be in those micro moments where the inspiration hits, voice note on a walk, it all builds. This is what builds and builds and builds. What really matters is that you return to it every day. You're thinking about it every day. You're devoted to this book and this story, and every single day you're returning to your story. Why? You know why. You've got to know your why. Why this matters to you, why this story has to be told. You wouldn't have had this download and had this story, had this experience for no reason. It was given to you to write, given to you to hold the pen, to put your fingers on the keyboard for you to express from within you. And it is such a disservice if we ignore that and one day energy, because the one day will never come. You've got the vision, you've said yes, you've stepped into the authoress identity, now it's devotion. Now it's actually doing it. It is actually putting pen to paper, it is putting fingers to keyboard, and that is the most magic magical thing. You're gonna protect it, you're gonna protect your story, you're gonna prioritize it. It's you and the story. Bestie vibes, we're gonna bestie vibes, and treat it like it's a sacred thing, like a beautiful ceremony when you when you start writing and when you're in it, and when you're in this journey, and things will come up, but when you're fully devoted to it, your story grows, the words come out of nowhere, things open up, the frequency is open, the words come out of nowhere, and you feel it, and it's an experience on its own writing your story, and devotion removes the pressure of perfection. We're not here to perfect and have a perfect first draft. There is no such thing as a perfect first draft. We're gonna be constantly editing, going back, going back, going back if we're in that, and we're never gonna push forward. Messy drafts, messy first drafts are like the best. Just get it out. The story's there. We are evolving, we are moving, we are moving, it is coming out. And you know what? You've already done the hardest part. You've said yes, you've become the authors, like that is the hardest part. Writing it isn't, it's in you. You've just got to express it and believe when you've said yes, and you've said yes to the being the one, being the authors, the rest will flow, it will come, it's your voice, it's you, it's your story, it's your experience, and I'm so passionate about this. If you can tell, in the in these transmissions, in these activations, this is what matters to me. You writing a story, being in that energy, because this experience, this day one of opening the book and starting writing, this is like day one of an experience of a lifetime that you will never forget. You will never forget each book, the first book, the second book, the fifth book, the tenth book, the twentieth book, the hundredth book. They all have a frequency, they all have an experience that you'll remember. Oh, I remember when I was writing that at the cafe down the beach, or what emotions come up, what feelings, and the way that I moved through it, the way that I held myself, and it was such a beautiful journey. So that's the thing, we remember the journey, and we don't want to get to the finish line so quickly that we forget, we forget the journey of the book and the story and how it unfolded and how you told it and what come through you and that energy and the impact, the emotions, all of it, your story. You were born to write this. You were born worthy of this. The magic, the magic, the magic. And I do want to say there's no such thing as writer's block. There is only the next word. And trust me. I've written 18 books, 90, 18, I don't even know. And when I have had parts where I haven't written, it's not blocks. It's just I haven't been in it. And it hasn't been there, and I haven't allowed myself time to be in it. The story's there. It is always there. No matter what you're writing, fiction, non-fiction, memoir, poetry, whatever it is, if you allow yourself time to write it, be devoted to it. There's been moments where I haven't been devoted to stories and I've just been out living, and that's fine, because then I've got the stories to tell, then I've got the depth, and new stories come from me living and experiencing and going through things, and then I can write about it, I can share about it, I can write the words because I know how it feels. I've lived it, I've experienced it, and there are stories that are still unwritten that I can't wait to write and go on that journey because every book I remember exactly how it felt. I remember the characters, their stories, the emotions I felt, the tears, the sadness, the joy, the hope. I write so many different things, even the romance arcs, the romance and the butterflies when I'm writing a cute scene or a really hard, traumatic scene, a really emotional depth-driven scene. I remember it all. Because that's the fun part, writing it. And it's a journey. Something you return to again and again every day. Every day. You are devoted. You've said yes, you've stepped into the identity, and this is the devotion. And if you see me looking up, I'm just checking my notes, making sure I'm hitting all the parts, because I can go off on little tangents when I'm talking about stories and words, because that is my that is what I'm here to do, to activate that in you and your story. And that's what I see in so many people. Stories. And my my tagline is where stories come alive. Because I just a hundred percent any person that I'm with, any person that I encounter, their story, I'm just in it, I'm listening, I'm moved, I feel it. And then I activate it within them to write their story, to take that step. That's what day one was about, the spark. You said yes, you felt the frequency of the book, it's there. Day two, we claim the identity. We are the authors, you are already an author. You can write your signature out. Start practicing. Write your signature out already. Get it ready because you are already an author. You are already the authoress. And day three, we've chosen devotion, we've committed the relationship, bestie vibes, to our book, to our story. And this is no longer day one, day two, day three. This is now. We are here, and something has shifted within you. If you can feel it, there's no going back now. There's no backtracking. You've said yes. There's no there's no coming away from this. You are the authoress. That is, you say it, feel it, claim it. You're an author. Sign your name off. Like that signature is gonna be worth money in six months from now, in twelve months from now, your signature, you'll get your hand will get sore from signing so many books, thousands of books, to your readers who are lining up in the shop wanting a signed edition of your story, and then telling you that they read it and they felt it and it moved and it changed their life, the impact that it made on them, that is what it's about as well. See, this whole journey from writing it is a whole experience. Then from publishing it, from editing it, from designing the cover, from the look, the feel, all of it, and then to holding your book in your hand, each step is a journey and an experience that is like no other. And you'll change, even writing it, you'll feel the pain, you'll feel it resurface, and you'll hold yourself and how far you've come. It's a journey from where you've started to where you are now, and the people that you're gonna affect, the impact that you're gonna create from your words, from your story, that's what matters here, and all of it, this is what it's about. This is what it is about. That I am, and you don't want this to end, if you're thinking, okay, what do I do now? How do I keep going? What's happening? This is an initiation, and this is just the beginning of this experience. You, me, us together, and I've created a space for women who are fully devoted to their book, are ready, are ready to write it, to stop carrying their story alone and start writing it because I know you're ready, we've gone through this in this initiation, and that is the authores mastermind, and this is six months devoted to your book. This is where the devotion comes in to your story, to your words, and by the end of the six months together in this container, you have written your book, you'll have the first draft of your book, and you'll have fallen in love with yourself even more along the way. This isn't a journey, this is not just writing the book, there is so much more there. This is an experience how you'll grow and expand and see the amazing power you have, the magic that you have within you from your story, from your words, from using your voice. This is what I'm like fully passionate about, and this is for you if you just feel that pull. I'm not here to convince you to sign up, that's not what this is about at all. I want women in there that are fully devoted to their story, they've said yes, they've gone through this initiation, and they are ready to write this. It means something, they're fully devoted to it, and I want to be in there in that container with you, holding your hand every step of the way. You might have been saying that one day for too long, it is time, and if you want to be in a soul-led space that is not just strategy, this is a space. This is the space. We're gonna have writing sprints each week, we're gonna have activations, we are gonna have women who are writing their story alongside you. It is motivating, it is activating, it is everything, and I'm just I'm gonna be there alongside you, not only as a mentor and holding the space and holding the vision with you, beside you. I'm gonna be writing one of my own books as well. I want to be along the journey with you, I'm gonna be bestie vibes, let's go. So the first cohort begins on the 9th of March, and we have six beautiful months together, and then the next cohort will begin after. But if you feel the call, say yes, let me know, reach out, I'll pop in the show notes the link to the landing page, and this is everything. It's this is my soul work, this is what I just love to do. Talk about books and stories and all of it, and activate your story and be there with you. This means everything to me. Everything, everything, and I want to honor you for coming along this journey, for being here, for saying yes, for showing up. Your book is inside of you. No matter if this is your first book or fifth book or 25th book, and you want to be part of this experience, it doesn't matter. Your story matters. The magic has always been within you. You're not becoming the authors, you're remembering who you always have been, who you always are. And I cannot wait to see you inside and let the magic begin. Sending you so much love.
