BIG NEWS: This is our very first video episode! If you want to watch the conversation, head over to our YouTube page, or you can watch it on Substack. All episodes are still available in audio format on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.My incredible guest today is Priscilla Zorrilla. Priscilla is a writer and coach focused on the moment people know what’s true and choose to move past it anyway.After a decade in the tech industry, she self-published her debut poetry collection, The Quiet Awakening: Dare to Dream, written in real time while stepping away from a career that no longer fit. Her work centers on self-trust, inner authority, and the quiet decisions made without an audience.She writes to interrupt self-betrayal and give language to what people already know but haven’t named. In the chat, Priscilla and I have a lot of fun while also discussing some pretty big topics that will resonate deeply with a lot of aspiring authors, but also those of us who have faced a challenge in life and recognized that what’s waiting on the other side just might be the best version of ourselves.
