How To Write Your Book & Thrive

The You-est You® Podcast

I’m curious: have you felt you have a story (or multiple stories) to share? Do you dream of writing a memoir or book to help others through your life lessons?

This week’s guest, Kristen McGuiness, bestselling author and esteemed publisher, openly shared her struggle with addiction, writing, why you must write your book, and how it’s time to let your inner writer out. Don't let your lessons learned and life experience be the untold story that stays stuck on a dusty bookshelf in your mind!

Key Takeaways:

• 🎨 Embrace creativity to express yourself through life's challenges.

• 💭 Early reading ignited a passion for writing as an outlet for expression.

• 📝 Overcome writing doubts by valuing your story and taking the first step.

• 📖 Confidence in writing is bolstered by clear outlines and community support.

• 📝 Personal struggles, like addiction, deeply shape writing journeys.

• 🌱 Sobriety enhances creative exploration by removing barriers.

• 🎨 Creativity heals and guides through tough times, shaping a brighter future.

• 💪 Sharing stories inspires and fortifies others' resolve.

• 🌟 Seeking support is essential for personal growth and transformation.
