SHARE YOUR COURAGEOUS WRITING MOMENT 

SUPPORT THE PODCAST

We made it to Episode 100! 

And we are celebrating with a brand-new segment to the podcast called the Courage Files, which will launch in Season 4 (September 2026) 

This new segment is all about your writing wins—big, small, messy, hard-won, or quietly brave—because one of the most powerful antidotes to doubt is hearing that other writers are showing up too. 

If you’ve taken a courageous step in your writing life, I invite you to share it. With your permission, some submissions will be featured on the show.

Beginning in Season 4, one submission per quarter will also be randomly selected to receive a free editorial assessment (up to 10 pages) plus a 30-minute coaching session with me!

Submissions are open NOW.

Here’s to the first 100 and many more! 

Have a comment or idea about the show? Send me a direct text! Love to hear from you.
