Become The Authoress

Something big has started and I had to bring you into it right away.

I have begun writing The Authoress book. The non-fiction book that has been swirling around in me for what feels like forever, showing up in signs and conversations and quiet moments until I could not ignore her anymore. Yesterday I sat down and I started and everything shifted.

In this episode I am sharing what opened up the moment I began writing her, how stepping into the character of the Authoress has already changed the way I move through my life and make decisions, and what it looks like to stop asking for permission and just go.

I also read from the opening image of the book, and if you feel something when you hear it, that is her recognising you. Because she was always you.

I would love for you to join me inside the Authoress Transmissions, a free channel on Instagram where I am dropping in as I write this book and sharing what comes through. Find it on my profile at Jenna L Little and come along for the unfolding.

Here is the question I am sitting with, and I hope you will too.

Where do you think you do not know, but you actually do?

Where stories come alive.

Welcome And Why Voice Matters

SPEAKER_00 0:02

Welcome to the Jenna Little Show. This is where stories come alive, and something in you remembers why your voice matters. I'm Jenna and this is where I share my thoughts, my transmissions, my truth, unfiltered, unscripted. This is where I share my self-expression. And sometimes somebody else steps up to the mic and shares their story too. Let's go. Let's dive in to today's chapter. Hello and welcome back to the Jenna Little Show. Today's episode is very special and it is going to open up so much for you, for me, for us, because I have just started writing The Authores. The authores book that has been swirling around in my mind. So many signs, so many conversations. She's been coming through. The character has been developing. All I can hear is the authors, the authors, the authores. And it is time, and I started this book, this nonfiction book yesterday about the authores, she who writes worlds. And that is what this is all about, stepping into the identity and the character of the authors. And let me tell you something that has opened up for me in this process of writing this book. And I've opened up a free um channel on Instagram, which is called The Authores Transmissions. If you go to Jenna L. Little on Instagram, my personal brand profile, and go to my the main profile, and you'll see the channel there called The Authores Transmissions, and I'm dropping in there with transmissions from the process, and you're coming along with me to as I write this book and what's coming through. And I've read out yesterday the opening image of the authores and tapping into who she is, and it was everything. And I feel like every part of my life, I am stepping into the authores, to that character, to that identity, and I am being her in all aspects of my life. And this is opening up so much for me personally in the way that I am making decisions, in the way that I'm moving, I am not waiting for approval or validation or permission. I am making decisions, and I, if I feel like it's a good idea and I want to do that, I'm moving and I'm doing it. And one thing, one thing that did come up, a question and a prompt for me was where do I think I don't know, but I actually do? Like, where am I wavering in my life? Where am I looking outside of myself for the answer for permission? And I have found myself in a lot of different areas of my life asking for permission about an idea, a book idea, whether it's a book idea, whether it's about what what do we want for dinner? Like simple things, but it's like asking yourself that of like, where do I think I don't know? But I actually do, like I know what I want to do. And it was interesting yesterday. I was talking to one of my mentors, and we were talking about that I opened up uh this private transmission channel, and I want and I did it on Telegram, and then I just felt this thing. I'm like, I actually want to do this on Instagram, it just feels more in the right place instead of outside of that app. And I just felt like I wanted to do it on Instagram, and I sent her a voice message and I was like, Oh, actually, I feel like I want to do it on Instagram. Like, what do you think about that? And I said to myself, I'm like, would the authores sit here and wait for permission and validation from someone else to make that move? No, so we're doing it, and I did it and I moved in that way, and it felt so liberating to make that decision and to tap into the authores and just move the way that she would move and make decisions and not ask for permission or ask someone else, what do you think about this validation? And it's so empowering that to know that we have the power, and when you tap into your own personal power, when you tap into the authores, she doesn't wait, she doesn't apologize, she doesn't wait, she makes moves and she goes and she has confidence and she knows who she is. She just moves in that way, and it's just such a beautiful unfolding as I'm writing this. All of these things that are coming through as I'm tapping into the character of the authores and how I'm acting in my life, and bringing that into my experiences, the conversations that I'm having, everything that I'm doing, I'm tapping into her character, and it's so liberating to see this process unfold as I'm writing her book and writing her what she wants to bring forth and channeling through her, and then bringing that into my life. And yeah, I want to share that with you because it's like that's who she is. And when you tap into the authores too, and the way that you're making decisions and all of that, like ask yourself that question like, where do I think I don't know, but I actually do know, and making decisions and being bold, being daring, being her, and yeah, so much is unfolding already. And I want to share a little bit from the book already, the opening image and a little bit more about the authors and who she is. So I'm gonna read from the book now. She is a woman who stopped apologizing for the worlds inside her. She's not a woman who wants to write. Wanting implies distance, really implies a thing that's out there somewhere else, waiting to be earned. The authores doesn't wait. She is. The writing is not something she does, it's something she is made of. Something that moves through her the way that a breath does. So effortlessly, so hers. She is patient in the way that certainty is patient. She doesn't chase, she doesn't perform, she doesn't create urgency. She knows what she carries, and she trusts it will find its form. Quietly, unhurried, unmovable. She's not waiting to be ready. She understood at some point, maybe slowly, maybe a single moment, that readiness was never coming. Because she was already her. The woman she was preparing to become was the woman who was already sitting at the desk. She feels her characters before she writes them. She knows her world before she names it. She enters the page the way you enter a room that was built for you, not as a guest, but as a woman who holds a key and isn't afraid to use it to unlock every door that awaits her. She has done the thing that most women haven't done yet. She's chosen herself as the one the story came to. She stopped treating the desire as something that might have been impractical, not the right time, might have felt a little bit embarrassing, indulgent. She recognized it as the instruction, as evidence, as the most important thing about her. She writes because the alternative a life in which a world inside her never gets made is not something she's willing to choose. She's every woman who has ever felt a story move through her and known in her bones that she was the only one that could write it. She's a woman reading this book. She always was, and she always is the authoress. That like that opening image of this book. That's what awaits you inside of this. And let me tell, like, there's just so much moving through this, so much unfolding. And I highly, highly, highly recommend getting in that channel on Instagram and being in there to feel the transmissions as I write this and what comes through and what moves through you as well. So you can start this process already, and you can become her and take take parts of the authores and become her character as well, because everything changes from within you. And I know when you step into that power, the magic that you create, and remembering who you are, remembering that you are already the authores, and everything changes from here, from this place, and I cannot wait to see you inside. That is it for today's chapter. Now I want you to go out there and keep your story moving. This chapter is not over yet, it's not done. This is a Jenna Little show where stories come alive. I'll see you in the next chapter.
