#25: Letting Go of Entitlement: What Codependency Taught Me About Writing Books That Work
In this episode, I dive into a theme I’ve been wrestling with: the quiet codependency that sneaks into the author mindset.
Whether you're writing a book, launching a funnel, or just trying to make a dent in the world with your creative work, there’s a common trap: expecting a certain outcome... and suffering when it doesn't come.
I reflect on insights from Codependent No More by Melody Beattie and how they apply directly to authorship, marketing, and even spiritual growth. This one’s personal—and useful. You’ll learn:
- Why emotional attachment to outcomes can sabotage your book
- The difference between healthy creative ambition and codependent thinking
- How to apply 12-step wisdom to publishing
- A practical mindset shift to stay energized and avoid burnout
- What to do when “no one’s listening”
If you’re an author, entrepreneur, or service pro building a brand around your ideas, this episode will help you realign with what you can control—and let go of what you can’t.
