If you’ve been making excuses for years for why you can’t write a book, this episode is for you. For years I told myself I wasn’t ready to write a book. Not qualified enough. Not interesting enough. But the truth? It was a serious worthiness issue that permeated my entire life.

If you’ve ever said “I don’t know where to start” - I see you. Here are the Highlights:03:45 – The sneaky way shame dresses up as “I don’t know”07:58 – Let’s talk about ego, storytelling, and the lie we keep believing13:23 – What actually happened when I stood up in that room19:33 – The moment it all poured out (and shocked even me)26:50 – Why your story isn’t just yours -  and why that matters32:58 – A little challenge for you and a big announcement from meResources:Join SJ’s 2027 Winter Writing Retreat: Earlybird pricing happening Now with 15% off using code WINTER15Follow SJ on InstagramDownload the Free Identity WorkbookGrab my SLAY YOUR STORY⚔🔥 Storytelling Masterclass here.
