Ep. 29: The Courage to Live - The Courage to Write the Book

In this episode, Josh and Jenna open up about how The Courage to Live actually got written. Josh shares why past attempts stalled, what finally worked, and what it felt like to leave home for a focused “Author Adventure” to hammer out the manuscript in a week. They talk about the resistance that hit right after committing to the project, including a sudden job loss and travel chaos, and how that fear shaped the writing.You’ll hear what a typical day looked like in Costa Rica, how coaching, meditation, breathwork, and even some “woo” helped Josh get out of robotic police report mode and back into real storytelling, and why writing 10,000 words a day was both exhausting and necessary. They also walk through the unglamorous parts: edits, cover design, and the nerves of putting something deeply personal into the world. The book releases October 1.
