Episode Description

Dearest you.

Are you sitting with a desire to become something or someone entirely new? To evolve your professional or personal expression in the most unlikely, bold way?

Maybe, like my guest Ruby Jean Cottle, you want to become a published author. Or maybe you’re an accountant who wants to become an artist. Or a leader who longs to be led again.

I hope this episode inspires you to take intentional action in the direction of who and what Nature is wanting you to become. I hope it affirms the quiet knowing that you’re ready to leap into the life you’ve been longing for.

Ruby and I trace her journey from multi-hyphenate creative and mother of two navigating “work” while living with endometriosis, to becoming a published author of Black River — a young adult fantasy novel she wrote before she ever had an agent or a book deal.

This is a conversation for anyone holding a creative dream inside them, wondering if they’ll ever feel ready.
