18. Stop Crowdsourcing Approval

We all do it. We have something we want, but we're afraid to just go for it and take the plunge. So instead, we ask everyone we know (and sometimes strangers on the internet, too) what we should do. Except ... we don't want their actual advice. We just want proof that someone approves of what we want to do. This is super common, but it robs us of our agency and authority. This episode shows you how to recognize when it's happening and take your power back.   *** The publishing industry is hard. That's why I created The Confident Author Academy.
