Something Like a Reintroduction to More to the Story

Today on More to the Story Podcast: A Reintroduction After a Summer BreakAfter a summer hiatus, I’m back with a fresh season of More to the Story. In this episode, I share what’s been happening behind the scenes—how I’ve been reflecting, pivoting, and rebuilding my business in a way that’s sustainable with my health and energizing for the women writers I serve. I also talk about Substack becoming a bigger part of my work, the importance of personal story in nonfiction, and a new layer of insight I’m gaining through Human Design.In today’s episode:* a summer hiatus and what I’ve been reflecting on since my MS relapse three years ago* why I’ve been experimenting with new ways of working sustainably* the challenges of using the term “nonfiction” and why I center personal story instead* how Substack is becoming the new home for my podcast, emails, and posts* shifting to a “mostly weekly” cadence to make the work easier and more sustainable* what I’ve been learning about Human Design and being a Manifestor—surges of energy, deep rest, and the ripple effect of creative sparks* how this new self-knowledge empowers me (and my clients!)* celebrating client wins: Barbara Caver’s forthcoming book A Little Piece of Cuba (available for pre-order now!)* how supporting each other—writers, readers, and coaches alike—creates a rising tide for all of usLinks mentioned in this episode:* More about Under the Gum Tree → underthegumtree.com* More about my coaching & editing services → moretothestory.co* Client books & success stories → moretothestory.co/about* Pre-order Barbara Caver’s A Little Piece of Cuba → bookshop.org* Follow Barbara on Substack for her book updates → Tiny Escapes with BarbWant help figuring out the next steps for your book project?
